Living and working abroad. Sounds glamorous--and maybe it is, if
you're posted to Hong Kong or Sydney. But what if your company
sends you to Bangkok, Warsaw, or Manila? Many questions arise: Is
it safe to go out at night? Do quality schools exist? How polluted
is the air? Is public transportation handy? What's the average
monthly rent for a decent house? What inoculations should you get
before you go? Can you find your favorite brand of toothpaste? "The
Global Manager's Guide to Living and Working Abroad: Eastern Europe
and Asia" answers these and many other questions expats will have
about the cities that companies send employees to most often in
Eastern Europe and Asia, as well as Australia, New Zealand, and
South Africa.
Though the heart of the book is the city-by-city listing, it
also includes tips on preparing for the move, dealing with culture
shock, staying connected to the home front, understanding the
psychological aspects of living abroad, country-specific business
and social etiquette, and other topics of concern to workers sent
abroad. The guide also includes information for corporate HR
people: When a cost of living differential is appropriate and how
to calculate it, how to obtain necessary work permits and visas,
how to help employees stay as safe and secure as possible, and how
to arrange for healthcare and insurance. Best of all, the
information is up to date and comes right from the fresh research
of Mercer--the consultancy many other companies turn to for advice
and the latest facts regarding working and living conditions in all
corners of the globe. That's why this book will help expatriate
employees feel at home in cities far from their native land whether
it's Seoul, Moscow, or Dubai.
