How should we use the word "localise" and "relocate" ?

[Woewoe]

Hi, I have two questions on the usage of the two words :

1. Localise

When I refer to an expatriate who is on assignment from the home country to the host country, after some years, the employee becomes an local employee of the company in the host country and ceases the relationship with the home country. Should I say "the employee is localised in the local company" or "the employee localised to the local company" ?

2. relocate

Should we say "the employee has relocated to Singapore effective on...." or "the employee has been relocated to Singapore" ?

Thanks.

1. In this situation, "localised" feels an odd word to me, however you use it. I guess you could say "The employee (was) permanently transferred to the local company."

2. If it was the employee's initiative then you would use the former. If you want to make it clear that the employee was told where to go then use the latter. There is a broad middle ground where either will do.
