employees who take assignments in other countries are called

 Employees who take assignments in other countries are often referred to as "expatriates" or "international assignees." These individuals temporarily relocate to work in a different country on behalf of their employer. Expatriates may be sent abroad for various reasons, including to manage international projects, transfer knowledge and skills across borders, or facilitate the establishment of a company's presence in a foreign market.

The term "expatriate" is commonly used to describe employees working outside their home country, and they may be on short-term or long-term assignments. The experience of working in a different country can be challenging and rewarding, involving cultural adaptation, language adjustments, and exposure to new business environments. Companies often provide support, such as cultural training and assistance with relocation, to help expatriates succeed in their assignments.
