Manager’s Toolkit: Supporting Returning Global Staff Through Transition

Re-entry is one of the most overlooked phases of the global assignment cycle.

Returning employees come back with new skills, broader perspectives, and significant internal shifts—but they may also feel disoriented, disconnected, and unsure where they now fit. Managers play a decisive role in the first 90 days of reintegration.

This toolkit gives you practical, simple ways to support your returning team member while staying firmly within your managerial role. You do not need to process deep emotions or conduct a formal debrief—that work belongs to trained specialists. Your task is to offer clarity, stability, and curiosity as the employee re-establishes their footing.
