Abstract
This chapter presents a comprehensive longitudinal study examining the profound influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global mobile workforce, with a specific focus on expatriates and their families. The research spans the initial reactions in the spring of 2020, followed by subsequent assessments at six months and one year later. By adopting a longitudinal approach, the study captures the evolving perspectives and real-life encounters of expatriates, shedding light on the multifaceted challenges and opportunities arising from the pandemic. The findings reveal not only immediate disruptions but also profound shifts in motivation, priorities, and the emergence of expatriates' critical individual skill set, termed “C-skills,” and organizational competencies essential for resilience in the post-pandemic world.
