Compensating international employees
Consider this situation. You've just been offered a position as director of international business development for the coffee company you work for. If you accept the job, you, your spouse, and your two young children will be based in Shanghai for the next three years. Your boss asks you to discuss this opportunity with your spouse, and to meet next week to discuss it further if you're interested. Your spouse is excited about the move, as are you, although both of you have many questions. The most urgent of these involves the compensation package that the company's willing to offer.
It's now time to meet with your boss. She's anticipated most of your questions about international compensation, and is fully prepared to discuss those at the meeting. As you're walking into the meeting, there are several issues you want to discuss. Will the financial incentives be attractive enough for you to leave your home country? Will you be able to maintain your standard of living while in Shanghai with due consideration of your career and family needs?
