Repats - The forgotten expats

Repatriation is perhaps the hardest posting, according to many experts. The reason for this is that many expats underestimate what it means to come home after many years abroad. They prepare themselves thoroughly for assignments to foreign countries, but think there's nothing to learn about the return to their own country.
Nearly all expats ultimately repatriate, with all of the joy, as well as the disappointment, that goes with it. This disappointment may be prevented, to a great extent, if they realise beforehand that there is more to repatriation than simply getting on a plane back home. In this special, current and future repats will find all of the information they need to ensure that their homecoming is every bit as wonderful as they expect
