Short-term assignments:

The right motivation for a short spell abroad 

Short-term assignments are becoming more popular, and are viewed as a viable alternative to longer spells abroad. Highly-qualified staff spend a limited time period working on a project abroad. In total, it is more efficient to set up three short-term assignments abroad than one long-term stay. In addition, short stays abroad involve fewer risks and less cost. 

However, companies don't always find it easy to persuade key staff members and managers to spend several months abroad on a project. The enticement of more money is often not enough. Potential assignees are more interested in whether they can maitain their high quality of life at destination, and also if the whole process of moving there and back is kept simple. 

Perfect fit: the best preparation with STAP 

For this reason, we at Henk International have put together a package specially designed for the needs of short-term assignees: STAP (Short-term assignment programme). This ensures that assignees are ideally supported during all phases of their transition abroad, and means that HR departments have less to worry about.   
Our STAP service packages can be put together according to your specific requirements.
