This essay delves into the realm of Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM), specifically within the context of a newly internationalizing organization. It begins by exploring various strategies and approaches that a company can employ to prepare and train employees for overseas projects lasting a year or more, such as cultural simulation training, managing expectations, management-specific practices, encouraging positive attitudes, and e-learning. The essay then analyzes the effectiveness of each approach, ultimately concluding which method may be most beneficial. Furthermore, the essay addresses the common challenges employees face when working abroad, including cultural shock and language barriers. It then discusses the ways in which management and HR practices can assist employees in overcoming these difficulties and achieving success in their international assignments. The essay uses the case of Cera, a technology-enabled care organization, to illustrate the practical application of SHRM principles in a global setting.
