The workforce is and will continue to grow globally. It’s imperative that when relocating new hires, companies think about the impact it has on those that need them the most, their spouses. Spouse adjustment is regarded as the most notable personal factor playing a vital role in the adjustment of a new hire, especially if the spouse is relocating to a new country and unable to work. When women follow their spouses’ career journey, their experience in a new location impacts their spouses’ longevity at an organization.
