Our intercultural program is designed as inter-cultural preparation that deals with relocation distress and gives newcomers the tools to adapt to the new culture. But it doesn’t end there. Our program assists the transferees throughout the most difficult process of adapting that usually start at the 6th month into the assignment.
Every year between 10-50% of international assignments globally ends in failure meaning prematurely or ineffectively. The main reasons for such collapse are family stress and cultural inflexibility. As an often under-estimated step in the whole relocation process, intercultural preparation tends to be vital to create a sustainable and successful international assignment.
Our coach-based program is designed to ease the stress, prepare the Assignees for the intercultural encounter and provide them with tools for a successful international assignment.
All our pieces of the program are led by a professional certified inter-cultural coach. The one-on-one form allows addressing the specific needs of each participant. Our modular approach to training allows participants to actively influence the content.
Our program is not a training, it’s a long-term assistance designed to support the Transferees and their partners throughout the assignment. The coach meets with the client on regular basis at first every 2 weeks, then once a month to finalize on check-in basis when required. We figured this form of coaching servers better than a typical 1-3 day training, that leaves the Transferees all alone during the most difficult adaptation phase.
Intercultural Training give our employees the necessary information, skills & attitudes to enable them to adjust and to function productively in the new environment.

We’ve learned our employees are more loyal to the company if they get proper intercultural preparation before the deployment abroad. Our retention rate has increased since we introduced mandatory intercultural training as part of the relocation package.
