Successful overseas assignments for the whole family.
An international assignment is one of the biggest investments a company makes in its employees – both professionally and financially. However, the success of an assignment rarely depends solely on professional qualifications.
The success of the assignment depends on whether the whole family settles in the new environment.
Studies consistently show that the most frequent reason for terminated international assignments is not the work itself – it's a family struggling to adapt to the new country. We address precisely this gap: with training for employees and direct, personal support for their families.
We support:
-
HR and global mobility teams of international companies
-
Relocation agencies that want to expand their services to include a family component
-
International schools and organizations with internationally mobile staff and families
-
Embassies, NGOs and institutions with staff deployed abroad
We develop training programs that are precisely tailored to your company and the needs of your seconded employees.
We offer courses and workshops with content based on real-life situations of expat families and which can be applied immediately.
Possible training content:
-
Intercultural competence for employees before departure
-
Preparing the whole family for the culture change
-
Dealing with children and adolescents in the transition phase
-
Return preparation (repatriation) for employees and their families
-
Workshops for HR and global mobility teams: Recognizing early warning signs and reacting appropriately
-
Train-the-trainer formats for internal contacts
Format : On-site, online or hybrid - as a single workshop or a progressive course program for relocation teams.
Personal support that has a measurable effect.
Direct support of the whole family
In addition to training, we offer direct, personal support to the sent family – before, during and after the overseas assignment.
This relieves the HR department, reduces the risk of termination, and shows the family that they are not just a footnote in the secondment contract, but are taken seriously.
Our support includes:
-
Coaching for the seconded person and their accompanying partner.
-
Individual support for children during the settling-in period (including our workbook "Adventure Trip Abroad")
-
Contact person in case of crises during the posting
-
Support during the return to the home country
For relocation agencies : We complement their existing services as a specialized partner for the psychosocial and family aspects of relocation – white-label or under our own name, entirely according to your wishes.
-
Fewer dropouts: Well-prepared and supported families stay longer during their overseas assignments.
-
Stronger employee loyalty: Employees who feel seen as a whole family remain loyal to the company.
-
Employer branding: A strong family support program is an argument in the competition for international talent.
-
Less effort for HR: No need to build up in-house expertise in child and family support - we take care of that.
