It is the most widely accepted procedure to improve the success of an assignment by evaluating a candidate's ability to adapt and succeed in a country other than their own. This service offers an enormous potential for reducing financial risk.

A study done in the UK identifies 'Relocating' as third on the 'life stress scale' after death and divorce. Supporting and facilitating assignees on relocation is therefore very important. Relocation Africa provides a 'Family Assistance' and 'Transition Support' program to help reduce the stress and minimise the chances of a failed relocation.

Relocation Africa's consultant will accompany your assignee on a personalised preview trip. The focus is to acquaint them with the local living conditions, the work environment and also to visit sample neighbourhoods and representative housing.

Preparing and familiarising the company and the expatriate with the host countries policing and security procedures is crucial.

The assignee will have access to a database of approved facilities and doctors where needed.

Based on the needs analysis completed by the expatriate, Relocation Africa will do the necessary preparation for the itinerary. The assignee will be given the schedule for their trip. The trip will include viewing houses/apartments and schools which match the criteria specified in the needs analysis questionnaire.
