Relocation Services
An
international relocation can be a roller coaster of emotions,
with rewards and challenges at every turn. While the majority
of overseas assignments result in a positive experience, relocation
industry surveys report that the principal reason for assignment
refusal or early repatriation is due to family concerns, including
spouse career issues, cultural adjustment challenges, and lack
of support. |
World of Difference
offers cultural insights, practical information, and full service
support for expatriates through every stage of the relocation process,
from assignment acceptance full-circle to repatriation. We work hard
to make every family member's move a comfortable and rewarding experience,
allowing the relocating employee to focus on the new business assignment.
Clients benefit from the experience, passion
and empathetic ear of interculturalist, counsellor, and seasoned expat
Gina Teague, who has devoted her 13 year career to informing and supporting
relocating families throughout the expat lifecycle. World of Difference
clients also have access to a global network of relocation industry partners.
Pre-Departure/Post
Arrival Cross-cultural
Training Programmes prepare relocating families to
navigate life in the new culture, providing them with information,
advice, and an opportunity to have their questions addressed by
relocation professionals and destination country experts. Special
attention is paid to the needs of dual career couples and of families
across different stages of the life span. Optional ongoing support
is available. |
The ROI for HR?
The value of investing in a comprehensive relocation support programme
can be measured in a relocation experience in which every family member
feels included, informed and supported, avoiding the pitfalls of a
costly early repatriation and improving long term retention of valued
employees.
