Pre-Departure Preparation

Global LT offers comprehensive training and concise country-specific orientations to meet the needs of any relocation. These programs equip assignees and their families for both daily life and business situations in the destination country. Our programs blend practical guidance with cultural insights, helping assignees understand expectations and build confidence.

Cultural Adaptation & Integration

Highly personalized training helps assignees adjust to a new culture and familiarize them with the inevitability of culture shock. These programs are typically conducted with confidentiality so that participants can openly share their goals, motivations, and concerns surrounding their relocation. Their teacher will coach them through cultural nuances and share proven strategies to adapt to a new culture.

Family Wellbeing & Support

Dedicated programs for accompanying family members help ease the transition to a new country. Targeted training, such as career continuity guidance for spouses or school transition support for children, helps creates a stable foundation for assignment success. Coordination between training programs ensures learning continuity for the whole family.

Repatriation & Knowledge Transfer

Thoughtful repatriation support helps organizations leverage returning employees' international experience for continued value. Programs address reverse culture shock, career progression, and knowledge sharing strategies. We ensure international experience becomes a catalyst for organizational learning and employee advancement, not a career interruption.
