To convince an employee to go abroad, an employer may offer additional benefits to help ease the transition. The most common is an increase in salary.

Other benefits may include:

• Relocation benefits that cover the cost of the actual move plus the help of a relocation agent to ease the transition
• Accommodation benefits such as subsidized housing and a rental agent to help find accommodations
• Language training at home and abroad to help the employee integrate
• Expatriate family benefits that assist with tuition payments for children and obtaining visas and compensate for the potential loss of the spouse's income
