According to the first blog written on our homepage, the TSP blog is supposed to focus on topics related to HR and recruitment. However, because of the pre-Christmas time, I decided to focus on people.  Being in touch with people is one of the aspects I like best about my job, however it naturally  always involves some uncertainty – people change their minds and have good or bad days.

What all expats have in common is that they lack the stability that one has when living in one’s hometown or home country, a stability that makes you less vulnerable towards ill influences. This is why I would like to dedicate today’s blog to the personal issues, that all of us have to deal with every now and then.
