In HR, an expatriate refers to an employee who is assigned to work in a foreign country by their organization. Expatriates are typically sent on international assignments to manage operations, transfer skills, or support global projects. They receive relocation benefits, allowances, and support to adjust to the new work and cultural environment.

In HR, an expatriate (or "expat") is an employee sent by their employer to work in a foreign country for an extended period. Unlike immigrants, expats relocate for specific career assignments (e.g., managing branches or transferring skills) and usually intend to return home afterward.
