Expat Learning Curve Drops from 9 Months to 3 Months

One of the largest banks in world sends thousands of individuals on short- and long-term global assignments each year. The individuals selected for these roles are among the top performers in the company, but many of them take a long time to learn their new roles.

The learning curve is particularly steep for those assigned to the Middle East and parts of Asia. The expats felt like the training they received beforehand did little to equip them to work effectively in the new environment, and many reported that their families struggled to adjust to the move.

This bank worked with the CQ Center to design a program that would equip and support those going on global assignments.
