Mary has worked for the company for more than 7 years, possesses a Master's degree, is fluent in four languages (English, Spanish, Arab, and French), and has the required management expertise to move on to a much greater role. Due to Mary's extensive professional background and dedication to the company, her company has identified her as a strong contender to support their expansion efforts in Dubai and has offered Mary to fill the role of VP of Human Resources and Employee Relations. Mary will report to the newly appointed COO in Dubai. Mary has accepted this new role and professional challenge and is expected to move to Dubai in 90 days. Her new assignment overseas includes a compensation and benefits package that is quite competitive and exceeds all of her expectations. Mary has never visited Dubai but has always been attracted to that part of the world. This first new assignment will give her the opportunity to work as an expatriate abroad and build a strategic IHRM partnership in Dubai and other regions.
