Actual exam question for HRCI's GPHR exam
Question #: 93
Topic #: 1
[All GPHR Questions]

What is the first step in creating an international assignment policy?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanatio n:

Before designing policies and benefits, HR must define what types of assignments will be supported, such as:

Short-term vs. long-term

Developmental vs. strategic

Rotational or commuter assignments

Each type has unique needs in terms of compensation, compliance, and support.

GPHR Study Guide Extract -- Global Talent Acquisition and Mobility / Assignment Planning and Design:

''A clear understanding of assignment types is essential in crafting effective mobility policies. This decision informs the structure, duration, and support mechanisms for each assignment.''

Skipping this step can result in misaligned benefits or inconsistent support.

I feel like developing benefits and compensation models is important, but it seems like that would come after figuring out the types of assignments.

Developing the benefits and compensation models seems like a crucial early step to me. You need to figure out how you'll support and incentivize employees for these international assignments.

I'm leaning towards option C - identifying the specific locations where the organization plans to send employees. That would help inform the rest of the policy development.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure. Creating a communication plan for stakeholders seems important too, to get everyone on the same page. But I guess that could come a bit later in the process.

I think the first step would be to determine the types of international assignments the organization plans to use, like short-term, long-term, or rotational. That seems like the logical starting point.
