With our international expertise and professional
contacts around the globe, we can assist corporations with an individual
or group move to virtually any destination in the world.
A counselor can work with the individual family
in a one- or two-day cross-cultural program to foster a deeper understanding
of the destination culture. The counselor focuses on daily-life and professional-interaction
issues, and professionals with country-specific expertise add realistic
perspective to opportunities and challenges facing the family.
The family is provided practical, essential home-finding
services and settling-in support in a 25- to 50-hour program spread across
a three- to six-month period. A relocation counselor works with the family
throughout the relocation process.
After the family has selected a home, the destination-country
counselor can help in a number of ways, from negotiating rental costs
to arranging for lease review, deposits, telephone installation, and utility
hook-ups. Home-buying assistance is also available.
Critical upon arrival, settling-in services can
remain available to the family throughout the assignment. These services,
which are designed to help the relocating family master daily life in
the new country, range from opening bank accounts to move-in-day assistance.
Participants in this one- to two-day program
receive practical information on living and working in the different country.
The program can be customized to serve an employee with regionwide responsibilities
that involve understanding a wider array of business and cultural differences.
Pre-departure and in-country programs are tailored
to particular needs of individual family members. The spouse/partner program
can include information on obtaining employment.
Programs for the family as a group and for the
employee, spouse/partner and children separately are recommended six months
prior to departure and one month after repatriation. These programs explore
the full range of repatriation issues, from reverse culture shock to political
and economic changes.
All employees affected by their organization's
global presence can benefit from skills that enable the development of
a global mind-set. The program fosters a deeper understanding of global
differences and the unique challenges that business people face in diverse
cultural climates.
These programs identify and bridge cultural differences
among a team of the corporate client's employees. The team learns to agree
on common definitions for decision-making, conflict resolution and communication,
and participants develop personal action plans for becoming more effective
team members.
