Answer preview
Upon leaving their countries, the expatriates’ immediate concern would be to address their accommodation needs. The company has to take a keen interest in its expatriates’ housing to facilitate the ease of adapting to the new environment, attaining comfort, and becoming more productive. The company will assess the real estate in the countries and identify the most suitable places to house their employees. Rather than giving them higher housing allowances, the company will look at procuring its compound of apartment housing for employees. Such an environment would allow the expatriates to live comfortably and access work conveniently. Similarly, it reduces the risk of them running into problems with authorities because some countries may have conservative religious views and even attitudes towards people’s sexual orientation (Elhadary & Ali, 2017).
