Relocation Coaching
Pre-departure/Post-arrival Family Adjustment
and Career Management Coaching
Although human resources departments are becoming
increasingly supportive of cross-cultural training
for expatriating employees and their families,
the effectiveness of this training has not kept
pace with the increasing demand for practical,
performance-related knowledge and skills. Globalization
and increased intercultural contact has created
a set of globally accepted business protocols,
and employees generally feel much more comfortable
in cross-cultural situations. But as business
becomes more competitive, expatriating employees
must become competent in working and managing
in the new culture. We need to raise the bar;
instead of generalities, cross-cultural training
must be tied to improving performance and bottom-line
results.
Expatriating employees and frequent business
travelers must learn how to work and achieve
results in new cultures so they can get more
and more work done every day. Higher productivity
leads to better results for the organization
in many ways: when the expatriates are empowered
by specific knowledge that relates to their work,
they are in control instead of being overwhelmed
by inexplicable situations or constantly taking
remedial actions. Human beings are very resilient
and most will eventually learn, but your organization
will be much better off if employees deal with
a smooth learning curve.
Transferees and their families receive adjustment
strategies to living and working in the new country
as well as in successfully managing their careers
in the new work environment. Our programs will
help to avoid costly mistakes that drain resources
and to facilitate successful accomplishment of
company goals during the new assignment.
