International HR Management
Part II: Structuring Overseas Programs

By: RecruitersWorld Special Reports

Imagine the following scenario: you are an international HR (IHR) manger for a US-based Fortune 500 company. You are one of the top performers in your group, having managed HR and recruiting programs in South America and Europe. One day, your VP calls you into her office and tells you about a new initiative she'd like you to head up. The company has decided to open a new office in Taipei, Taiwan. Your job is to seed, structure, and staff the new office. However, rather than staffing the office with expatriates, she would like you to hire local managers. You have no background in Asia and speak no Asian languages. What would you do?

In today's changing global business environment, international HR managers are placed in the above situation everyday. International HR managers must go to foreign countries, often with little preexisting experience, and build new programs from the ground up. IHR professionals must become quick and ready experts in a range of subjects, from local employment law to cultural practices. They must then synthesize this knowledge to accomplish a number of tasks, from finding office space, establishing a compensation program, to recruiting and training personnel.
