Expat Policy Resources:

RISK FREE OFFER: Expatriate Policy and Procedures Group can review your existing expatriate policy and procedures manual with no consulting fees and send back a free report on what areas could possibly be targeted for improvement. If your policy is as good as it should be, it should pass our test. There is no requirement to act on recommendations if you don't feel they are urgent.

 

Note: Programs described on this page begin from less comprehensive and move toward total outsourcing of expatriate policy and procedure with communication of all policy using the Web Site Portal.

 

 

 

 

For more information focused on policy and procedure for global travelers, please see below:

We have programs ranging from full service outsourcing including all expat policy, procedure, and web site updates to "one and done projects." It's whatever you need with complete flexibility.


Hong Kong Expat

The web site or communication portal is part of program 2,3, and 4. Program 1 is a one time policy design project.

Do you have a good expatriate assignment manual like this? If not, your organization is subjected to employee relations problems, headache, hassle, and potentially... millions of dollars of liability. Documenting policy is the easiest and cheapest way to remove liability.

You can view a sample web site designed for different classes of international assignees by clicking on the links on the web portal page above.

Expatriate Communication and Policy Documentation Products to Meet Any Budget.

Remember, not documenting international travel and expatriate policy properly means carrying a tremedous amount of potential liability that could blow up at any time. Our products were designed to meet the following needs of corporations, non-profit organizations, and universities that send people to work or travel internationally:

  • The ability to be implemented quickly and efficiently. We can turn a 12 week project into a 10 day implementation if necessary. We understand where customization is necessary, but we are not out to begin every project from scratch in an attempt to create fee based revenue like the large employee benefits consultants. Our plans are fixed, project based pricing with no fine print and no cost over-runs. Most importantly, no $25,000 bills.
  • The need to be cost effective. This is the most streamlined, efficient, and "no excess" program, available... anywhere in the world.
  • To be incredibly thorough in order to find: the existing holes in coverage, undocumented policy, unclear procedures, and potential problems and pitfalls. The goal is to create the most effective communication platform that will require the least amount of work from your company's HR, Risk Management, and relocation staff.

The easiest and most cost effective way to avoid conflicts with employees and remove potential legal liability is to have well written, comprehensive, and easily accessible policy and procedures surrounding expatriate assignments and international travelers. Products start from the simplest single task program sliding up the scale to complete outsourcing.

Program 1 : Case Specific International Employee Handbook and Expatriate Policy Manual Development

You may have a single need. Your organization may already have an excellent intranet site that is designed for expatriates and global travelers. If you need to have a specific policy or procedure implemented efficiently using industry best practices, simply lets us know what you require. Your existing policy may also require a checkup since it's creation 5 (10?) years ago.

PRICING: In many cases we can quickly and easily update or supplement your existing policy. Pricing starts $500 per project. This would include the interview, the drafting of the expatriate policy and procedure (for the specific topic) and revisions to fit your corporate culture.

Program 2 : "Leasing" the Expat Web Site Portal

You may have an excellent expat manual or expat handbook now, but your IT Department has never been able to do something specifically for your expatriates and you have no good way of communicating with them now and no web based platform.

You can use our web portal to organize and communicate your existing international policy and procedure and the expatriate manual with everything in one place. We are a "best practices platform" for communicating all aspects of your expatriate policy. In Program #2 (this program), all policy is written by the client and the web portal is used to communicate new polices, new insurance programs, notices from HR to the field, security plans, or new service providers (or just about anything else you want to communicate)

The expatriate web portal includes all of the following:

  1. Website creation and setup
  2. Unlimited updates and communication news and calendar posts to expatriates
  3. Update guarantee of less than 24 hours
  4. Posting of your existing expatriate policy and procedures
  5. Posting of all expatraite vendor and insurance information

The PRICING for the standard setup would be as follows:

  • One time setup fee of $1,200 to $4,000 depending on the number of hours of setup required to build the website and portal. (setup fee waived for non-profit and missionary organizations)
  • Monthly fee of $195 for under 10 international employees accessing portal
  • Monthly fee of $375 for 10 to 50 international employees accessing portal
  • Monthly fee of $550 for 50 to 250 international employees accessing portal.
  • over 250 employees requires a custom quote.

Program 3 : Web Site Portal + Review of Existing International Policy and Your Expatriate Handbook

This program uses the Web Site Portal to communicate existing expat policy and procedure to international assignees but also utilizes our service to review the existing policy and make recommendations in areas where it may need updates.

As we state in our Risk Free Offer, we offer to review existing expatriate policy and procedure at no cost. The total cost for this program will be the cost of the web portal (2) and the cost of building certain sections of the international policy (1) above.

Program 4 : Establishing an entire expatriate employee handbook and using the web portal to communicate it

Many organizations will have little to no current written policy for employees working or traveling internationally. Guidelines and written policy may urgently be needed. We offer the industry's most efficient approach to establish guidelines quickly and for getting them communicated.

Pricing will depend on what, if anything has been created already, and how much customization is required. However, the sole purpose of our organization is to create turn-key solutions whenever possible and to avoid customization if unnecessary. It is for this reason that if we are bidding against one of the large consultants for Program 4, we may be as much as 60% less expensive and 100% more thorough! Bids for a complete expatriate handbook / manual are typically UNDER $5,000.
