With the rise of companies operating in a global village, many companies are also expanding internationally. Mostly, international organizations operating abroad are faced with employees of foreign cultures with an entirely different perspective. Oftentimes, cross-cultural issues arise in the management of the company's human resources (HR).

In view of this, it is the intention of this non-empirical article to investigate how to assess the international workers, by adopting the latest management trend.
