Download the Family Relocation Risk Assessment

The Family Relocation Risk Assessment helps you proactively mitigate the biggest risks to assignment success: family dissatisfaction and failure. By identifying and addressing family needs early, you can improve employee retention, increase assignment acceptance rates, and reduce the significant financial costs associated with failed or prematurely ended assignments. It also enhances your employer brand as a company that genuinely invests in its people.

Expat Valley contributes to your organization's success by mitigating the single biggest risk in international assignments: family failure.

When an employee's family struggles, the assignment is at risk. This leads to premature returns, which can cost your organization up to three times the employee's annual salary in wasted recruitment, training, and relocation expenses.

We specialize in ensuring the family thrives, not just survives. By addressing their emotional and social needs, we improve assignment acceptance rates, boost employee retention, and enhance your reputation as a caring and supportive employer.

Ultimately, we help you transform international assignments from a high-risk investment into a reliable driver of global success.

Our support is designed to be highly flexible and can be integrated at various levels to meet your specific needs. We offer:

• Data-Driven Insights: Our Family Relocation Experience Survey provides actionable data on what's working well and identifies risks and opportunities for improvement within your current program. We can also benchmark your employee's feedback results against industry averages to highlight your competitive advantages.

• Strategic Talent Attraction: We can host targeted webinars and educational sessions for your employees or potential candidates. These sessions proactively address family concerns, showcase your commitment to their well-being, and turn a family's hesitation into a reason to say "yes" to an international role.

• Policy & Program Design: We provide expert advisory services to help you design new policies or refine existing ones. Our insights ensure your mobility policies are not only logistically sound but are also genuinely family-centric, which is essential for attracting and retaining top-tier talent.

• Ongoing Family Support: Through our range of Family Support Programs, we provide on-demand, proactive support that ensures families feel connected, understood, and empowered throughout their entire international journey.

Expat Valley offers a range of services designed to ensure the success and well-being of globally mobile employees with families, complementing your existing mobility program. Our services include:

• Family Needs & Wellbeing Assessment: A proactive tool to identify and address the emotional, social, and psychological needs of families before, during, and after a move.

• Family Coaching & Support: Tailored guidance and coaching sessions to help families navigate challenges like cultural adaptation, identity, and building new support systems.

• Trainings & Webinars: We deliver engaging, educational content on topics that matter most to expat families, from preparing for a move to thriving in a new country.
• The Global Family Library: A comprehensive digital resource hub with expertly curated articles, guides, and tools that empower families with accessible, on-demand support.
• Repatriation Planning & Support: Specialized services focused on the unique challenges of returning home, helping families and children successfully re-integrate.

We warmly welcome your employees and their families into a supportive ecosystem that transforms relocation from a high-risk process into a successful and enriching experience.

What sets Expat Valley apart is our focus on the human element of relocation. While many in the industry specialize in the logistics (visas, housing, and shipping) we specialize in the emotional and psychological journey of the globally mobile family.

We believe that a successful assignment is not just about the employee arriving safely; it's about the entire family thriving. Our value is in addressing the often-overlooked factors that lead to assignment failure, such as a child's sense of belonging, a family's ability to build a new community, or the subtle but significant challenges of adapting to a new culture.

Our services are designed to complement, not replace, traditional relocation providers. We offer a specialized layer of support that focuses on proactive family assessment, tailored coaching, and expert guidance to ensure the wellbeing of every family member. This not only makes the transition smoother but also significantly boosts employee retention and assignment success for your organization.
