Second, the different types of employee, in international environment the HR management have to deal with the host-country nationals (HCNs), expatriates or home-country nationals (PCNs) and third country nationals (TCNs), for example if L’Oreal hired an Indonesian employee in their Indonesian subsidiary the employee is a HCNs, and when manager from L’Oreal Headquarter in France came to work in Indonesian subsidiary the manager is a PCNs, and if L’Oreal employs manager neither from Indonesia nor France to work in their Indonesian subsidiary the manager is TCNs.
