Expat Happiness

Expat Happiness has developed a unique platform, combining tighter individual support in the beginning of the stay abroad and on-demand options throughout the entire expatriation period. This helps foresee challenges, before they even arise, and definitely before they escalate. It helps make every expatriation a success story – for the company, the expat and their family. WHY ARE WE DOING THIS? Going abroad often turns out a more challenging endeavour than expected in the beginning of the journey. Once struggling, most expats will be reluctant to tell the HR department or someone else in the expatriating company about their challenges. Instead, the family is trying to solve everything themselves – which often results in a vicious downward spiral. For the company, this may lead to high costs because of premature returns from abroad. For the family, in the worst case, it leads to a breakdown and divorce. In fact, this is not a rare incident: depending on the source, 30-50% of families break apart as a direct consequence of an expatriation. And typically, this is preceded by lots of pain and struggle – and from the expat employee’s side with a drastic performance dip. IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THAT WAY What is important to know for the expats, their families and companies: most of those challenges are very common, so they are not alone. Because they are so common, there are experts out there providing services exactly around those topics. This is one of the core elements of Expat Happiness’ service: to source the best available experts covering all common problems that arise before, during and after expatriations. We have researched and hand-picked the relevant competences, so that you and your international staff get delivered the solutions you need at the right time. A SHARED EFFORT IS NEEDED FOR SUCCESS Expat Happiness believes in a holistic approach to make expatriations a success. The support provided therefore targets all stakeholders.
