Imagine you are the HR professional based in the US and will be sending a manager with her husband and 2 children (age 10 and 15) to work in the Japanese location on an expatriate assignment for 2 years. Describe the training you will provide to the employee. Should the family be involved in training? Why or why not and what part of the training should they be involved in? What other steps should companies take to increase the likelihood of a successful experience for all parties involved?
