Why local HR practice breaks abroad

A policy that works in the head office meets a different labor law, a different attitude to hierarchy and a different idea of fair pay in the next country. An employee sent abroad comes back early. A merger closes on paper and fails in the corridors. International HR has its own models for these questions: how to staff a foreign office, how to pay an expatriate, how to read a culture, how to keep one company out of many local ones.

What changes after this course

You connect HR strategy with the way the business expands. You know who to send, who to hire locally and how to prepare both. You choose a compensation approach for an assignment and can explain it. You understand why colleagues from another culture react as they do. You keep engagement, labor relations and compliance in view in every country. And you speak about all this in professional English.

Who is teaching

I am Mike, the #1 HR instructor on Udemy, with 1,800,000+ course enrollments from 170,000 students, and the author of about 200 books on Amazon. I built the people system at Preply as it became a unicorn and worked at Wargaming, iDeals and Alfa-Bank across 20 years in HR. I hold PHRi, SHRM-CP and HCI sHRBP certifications and represent HRCI in Eastern Europe.

When I first joined an international company, Wargaming, the international side was exactly what felt hard and unclear. Step by step it became clear, simple and very interesting. Cultural differences are the most underestimated part. Working with people from different cultures, I felt on myself how often I read things differently because of my own culture. In 2015 the whole company started training with Erin Meyer, the author of The Culture Map. If you do not understand cultural differences, you read people's behavior wrongly, speak to them wrongly and end up misunderstood.
