Global mobility: Living and Working in Country ‘x’
Timely and relevant global mobility training and support can make the difference between an assignment’s failure and success and have a positive long term impact on business relationships and productivity.
Our courses are designed for delegates relocating to another country, from temporary to long term international assignments. Focusing on the elements that increase an international assignee’s effectiveness in the target country, our courses provide cultural insights, country specific information, and practical advice, on both business culture and day to day living.
“I can safely say that the course was the highlight of our preparations –we learned more in one day than we have from everything else put together – a huge privilege.”

The best cultural training (which can include a family programme) offers a deeper understanding of a culture (what lies beneath the surface). It encourages individuals to be self-aware, whilst providing them with the cultural intelligence and practical advice that properly prepares them for living and working in a specific country or culture.
It helps assignees set expectations prior to arrival, and to understand what may be a different approach to business, developing the cultural awareness that will help enhance relationship building. It provides assignees with improved confidence in their interpersonal effectiveness and communication skills, by highlighting similarities and differences, and addresses potential cultural challenges, offering strategies to adapt for success.
