Intercultural Training & Coaching
Intercultural Adaptation, Evaluation and Training
A relocation to France is an excellent opportunity for the employee and can provide many new possibilities for the expatriate such as discovering a new culture, learning a foreign language , broadening their work experience, and also certain social benefits.
Expatriation is equally beneficial for the employee's spouse and their children.
Your relocation agency, Management Mobility Consulting, has developed a portfolio of customizable services adapted to each expatriate and his/her spouse. Follow-up takes place at each stage of the expatriate's relocation: before their departure, during their stay on site and until their return to the country of origin.
In order to facilitate the process, we offer intercultural training with the staff of our relocation company. The aim of the training is to prepare the employee and his/her family for the international move in a smooth and serene manner in order to reduce culture shock and facilitate their adaptation.
Depending on the choice of the employee or the HR department the training can be done face-to-face, in webinars or conferences.
At Management Mobility Consulting, our consultants and professionals have a solid knowledge of training and intercultural adaptability. Moreover, they have all experienced an expatriation and therefore know what is at stake. With our relocation company, you can rely on the quality of the services provided and the professionalism of the team you are working with.
