RELOCATION TRAINING

WHY IS CULTURAL AWARENESS TRAINING AND RELOCATION TRAINING SO ESSENTIAL?

IMPACT OF NOT HAVING TRAINING

At Crossroads Global, we understand the importance of cultural awareness training for relocation and international assignment programmes. All our courses, whether for relocation to India, China, Russia, Poland, Brazil or the UK, are tailored to individual requirements to provide the assignee with a comprehensive insight into the target country, culture and people. The International Assignment Programmes are designed to equip the expatriates with the necessary skills and strategies to ensure that their relocation, whether outbound or homebound, is successful.

CULTURAL AWARENESS TRAINING

REPATRIATION TRAINING

To do business effectively and successfully, it is essential that international assignees are able to understand the way of doing things in the host-country such as different ways of interacting and communicating, approaches to managing, authority and effective teamwork.

For organisations with operations outside their home countries, it is a growing trend to assign employees overseas.  It is acknowledged by both commercial businesses and social organisations that having someone on the ground thousands of miles away from the home base is a very effective way of establishing new networks, increasing business opportunities and raising company profits.  For the international assignee, such international opportunities can be challenging and exciting, offering the opportunity to work with new colleagues, on new projects, and in different cultural environments. 

However, even the best technical and professional knowledge and skills may not be able to deal with the impact of the hidden cultural challenges on such assignments.  To do business successfully, international assignees must be able to understand the host-country way of doing things such as different ways of interacting and communicating, different approaches to managing, authority and effective teamwork. The Relocation Training and International Assignment Programmes offered by Crossroads Global can be of great value to you and your organisation or business.

A lack of cultural awareness, at either professional or social levels, can lead to major miscommunication and misunderstanding and ultimately can be a main cause of rejection by host-culture colleagues, clients, acquaintances and neighbours - not only for the employee but for their family as well.  These cultural challenges and experiences of culture shock can be equally prevalent when returning to the home country after several years’ living and working in another country and culture.

Repatriation Training is a strategic part of the international assignment cycle that is often overlooked even though each assignment and represents a substantial investment. Coming back to the home country after an international assignment can be equally challenging if not more than the initial relocation. We assists our clients during this phase through training programs that prepare families for their return, structured debriefing sessions that focus on capturing the valuable knowledge expatriates have acquired during their assignments, and  coaching sessions to enable the employees to benefit from their international experience as well as re-align smoothly back to working and living in their home country.

Cross Cultural Training is a very important part of successful expatriate relocation. Over 90% of expatriates believe that Cross-Cultural training has a major impact on maximizing the potential of expatriates and their families successfully adapting and performing abroad. We offer a wide range of services to expatriates and their families relocating to other countries. In fact, we support the expatriates and their families through the entire cycle of their Global Assignment programme.
