Integrating Well – Post Arrival Support for Partners

An unhappy partner can take the employees focus away from their important role and ultimately put the whole assignment under threat. Conversely, an engaged and enthusiastic partner will support the employee and the assignment experience. It takes time to settle, integrate and create a happy and fulfilled life abroad. On the way, there can be many personal and professional demands and challenges. This service is designed to support the partner to create a happy and fulfilled life in their new location. The consultant supports the partner as they adapt to their new life and consider what will make the experience work for them personally and professionally. The result: a settled and confident partner who feels comfortable in their new environment and makes the experience their own.

Intended for

Companies who value the contribution expat partners make to the success of an international assignment and want to provide support as they settle into their new lives and location abroad.

What you get
