An international relocation is one the most overwhelming and stressful events an employee can face. Even when the transfer is wanted, excitement can soon turn to anxiety as dozens of questions come up. The hazy dream of life abroad snaps into focus with practicalities as assignees wonder how they will find apartments, what schools will suit their children, or whether or not they’ll be able to safely bring computers and other sensitive equipment.
As the leader in destination information, Living Abroad aims to ensure that all relocating employees have conveniently packaged information that will guide them through the steps of their move. To that end, we are excited to announce Moving Abroad: A Practical Guide for International Relocation. Based on our extensively-researched Relocation Essentials, this 163-page handbook contains information pertinent to any assignee, no matter the destination. Moving Abroad delves deep into the myriad challenges and opportunities assignees face, offering practical solutions and suggestions to ensure both a happy family life and professional success in a new country.
To that end, the guide covers 15 broadly-applicable topics, from managing important personal documents to cultural adjustment, and even includes special sections for kids and teens who may be relocating with a parent. We hope that this is a resource the whole family can use, not only for their own adjustment, but to better understand and empathize with the unique challenges each member’s role can pose. It even includes a section on successful repatriation at the end of an assignment, making it truly a start-to-finish blueprint.
For convenience, Moving Abroad is offered in both paperback and eBook formats. More information can be found here.
To celebrate the launch, we’re also offering the eBook for FREE from September 18-22. Just download the book to your Kindle device or app here.
