Hi All,
In my company, employees will have to travel abroad on short term basis for official work. Ex. 3-6 months.
So I need to prepare the Orientation Manual and Foreign Travel Policy.
As of now we did not have any standard policy to follow, but now frequency and duration of travel is increasing. Destination countries are US & Dubai.
In some cases fooding & lodging will be arranged by company or client.
I have to anticipate other than basic amenities what are the other details I can give them in orientation manual.
I want to anticipate what are the general requirements of employees from HR point of view.
This is very urgent please help.
Regards
