Would you do anything to make sure your expat's relocation is a succes? An increasingly important factor to make it a succes is to take the partner's needs into account. Is his or her main focus taking care of the family, contributing to the society as a volunteer or perhaps finding a new job? Especially the job search in the new environment isn't an easy task. It could create a major obstacle or risk of failure of the expat's relocation. This is exactly why a lot of attention should be paid to the partner's needs during the preperation.
In case of two working partners, the partner or spouse of the relocating expat is giving up a part of their personal identity to enable the relocation. Nowadays it is more common that both partners have their own career. If it is not properly managed, it might turn into the reason of failure.
De Haan has a team of specialists who can help with this on a worldwide scale. Think about securing assessments of the partner, familiarizing in relevant networks, personal career coaching, local career counseling, cultural counseling, etc. Everything tailored to your organization.
