Introduction
Globalization is commonly interpreted
as the spread of production, communications
and innovations business around the world.
Rapid globalization is a growing phenomenon
that is not only bringing humanity into
mainstream affairs being major stakeholders
indirectly but also greater expectations... The
theme of globalization can be debated but
whether it is an advantage or a setback, the
process and its effects cannot be ignored.
Globalization has an important relationship
with employment, and it depends on the
countries policies on how it influences. The
goal of this paper is to analyze this impact and
how the company can prevent these problems.
Purpose
This formal reports purpose is to
educate the reader on the impact of
globalization when a company decides to
expand internationally. The interpretation of
globalization can be widely debated, with
supporters and opponents, each trying to
support their own arguments. The various
surveys and articles found disparities in the
preparation of the managers being send
abroad before an assignment some including
very little details about the cultural
differences.
Scope
The goal is to inform consumers of the
lack of training and prepares of taking a
company
abroad.
Through
different
experiences make the companies aware of the
importance of international and cultural
training before moving abroad. With the
following questions, the goal should be
attained:
What should a company do to avoid
conflict on human resources issues
abroad?
Should
companies
invest
in
International adaptation programs for
their employees?
Which labor laws are considered when
a company is making business abroad?
What are the laws for expatriates?
Methods
The information in this formal report
has been researched from online articles,
academic articles, and current organizations.

the previously mentioned questions.

survey and a statistical reference from the
SHRM research found on their website.
Conclusion and Recommendations
Globalization is commonly interpreted

companies deal with the appropriate training

companies into
the

economy has led to a greater interest and
demands in the developing of strategies for

of Human Resources abroad are: adapting to a
rapidly
changing
worker
profile,
understanding the subtleties of workers
qualifications and retaining and engaging a
changing workforce. Only a small percentage
of companies can be successful abroad, it is

rates vary from country to country and how

specific countries? What are other countries
custom to (lunch breaks, work hours)?
