Project-based Employee Assignments Abroad

For the German version, please read here>>

Project-based assignments are strategically important for companies, but they also present considerable challenges. Only with forward-looking planning, clear processes and legal safeguards can the various risks be minimised.

In principle, this type of assignment involves the same challenges and risks as any other assignment. The only complicating factor is that the assignment does not always take place at an affiliated company, but often at a customer's premises.

As a company, you do not always have a choice as to which employee you can assign to the relevant projects, as the focus is on the qualifications, knowledge and experience of the employees. Furthermore, employees do not always want to be assigned to a project abroad.
