Relocation services: why language training is so important

Relocation services cover a range of internal business processes to transfer employees, their families or even entire departments of an industry to a new location. Like other types of employee benefits, these processes are usually administered by human resources specialists within a corporation.

Such business processes can include domestic residential services where the staff is transferred to another state, as well as international relocation services which include planning for diplomats, managers, and other important positions, working abroad. The relocation process includes, among others:

• The arrangement of documents (visa, long-term stay permissions, driving licese, renewals, etc.)
• Finding a new house, the management of your actual residency and a global household goods transportation service
• Schooling assistance for the children
• Spouse assistance in finding a job or interests in the new place
• Language training to live and work in the host country as well as familiarization trips to introduce the assignee and the family to the local culture.

Language Training

Staff Relocation Services helps your staff and their families to live and work in the host country by training them in the local language and business dialect.

Providing the necessary intercultural and language training as part of an international relocation support will substantially help your relocating employee to communicate and integrate effectively in their new location.
