Career Transitions

Movement to another country, within organizations, and different industries, are all part of career transitions. Our expertise can assist in this career adjustment process, whether it is once-off or life-long.


Adjustment Processes

Any career transition has an adjustment phase. Understanding different coping mechanisms are important so that foreign workers have a positive expatriate experience  and the organisation's goals are achieved, leading both parties to flourish.

Expatriation & Repatriation

 Learning about different cultures, and communication in multi-national work environments is important to help multinational organizations rethink ways in which expatriate workers are integrated; allowing a smoother migration experience.

Human Resource Management

 Preparing skilled migrants for international assignments and facilitating integration will significantly enhance the expatriate experience and company work goals.
