📊 What's really keeping international assignees brilliant, and what isn't? So, you’ve sent your employee on their assignment. But what kind of support do they now need for their new life abroad? The third edition in our World of Work series, Keeping people brilliant, is now LIVE and packed with insights from HR managers and assignees - that all help to answer that exact question.    The headline? Many organisations are still relying on a one-size-fits-all benefit package, but that's not going to cut it anymore. What's the research says: 🔄 Short-term placements are up 10% over five years, and that comes with new challenges around integration and belonging. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family support isn't just a nice-to-have, it’s critical to assignee wellbeing and performance. 67% of assignees with family in their working country have significantly better mind health than those living apart (42%).  🧠 Mental health support has improved since 2020 – but 69% of assignees still say more could be done. 💼 Hybrid working is a double-edged sword. While 78% say it's boosted their work-life balance, 37% report increased loneliness and isolation. Ultimately, if businesses can offer flexible, people-first support that evolves throughout the assignment journey, then you’re bound to help them stay their best. Want the full picture?
