Many mobility programs worry about and create solutions to properly manage tax and immigration compliance. But what about expat marriage compliance? Many relationships become endangered during an expatriate assignment. There can be a wide range of culprits from infidelity to loss of identity for trailing spouses, to isolation caused by missing support systems and partners being pulled into travel and working long hours. Sometimes cracks that you were not even aware of surface and stress can cause us to struggle with handling situations the way we might have back at home.
Have you witnessed the challenges? Has your mobility program considered any supportive measures? It might be as easy as leveraging an assessment like SAGE and adding a couple's debrief according to my good friend at IOR Global Services, Mark Frederick!
