If an employee and their family know what to expect from their new town or city, they can then make better, more informed decisions about where to live, how to educate their children, and even whether to move at all. All this makes it more likely that the employee will settle in and be able to focus on their new role. It also reduces the likelihood that the assignment will fail due to the unhappiness/dis-satisfaction of the employee or their family.

Culture Adaption Assistance:-

Employees and their families are more likely to settle into their host environment more smoothly if they understand what cultural and language differences they are likely to encounter and acquire early a degree of familiarity with the language. Issues caused by cultural or language misunderstandings can cause avoidable impediments, stress to the employee and distract them from their work and discourage, particularly those on first time overseas experience, to continue with their assignments and if their family has not settled-in, they are more likely to want to return home. This is especially the case if the employee and family are under particular pressure, for example if they have not lived abroad before.

Cultural and language training also helps employees work more effectively with local people from other cultures . An appreciation of how people of different cultures do business reduces time wasting caused by misunderstandings and ensures greater productivity in your business in a congenial social environment. Language training enables employees and their families to engage more productively with the people they meet, helping them settle-in and improving their confidence in business and social situations.

Education Assistance:-

Providing education assistance to the relocating family ensures that your employees can make informed decisions about their children’s education. School places are limited in some locations, with places allocated on a first come, first served basis. A well informed parent is in a position to make prompt decisions, maximising their chances of success. All this gives them peace of mind. With their children settled into a new school, your employee can focus on their new assignment as soon as possible.

Education Introduction:Conduct a needs assessment with the family, discuss education options in the new country and differences between the home and host countries, provide information on schools, and the application processes, in the desired area and provide advice on alternative options, including special needs schools if appropriate and available.

The termination of a lease is also a time where companies can find themselves with additional financial liabilities. These can include damage claim payments and loss of deposit. Our stringent inventory checks ensure that employees and clients are not liable for erroneous dilapidation claims and that the employee retains as much of their deposit as legitimately possible.
