FLEXIBILITY...
"We endeavor to provide a complete range of services; if you should have any additional requirements we will incorporate them into your move portfolio."
An upcoming move is often a cause of stress and anxiety within a family. Taking a preview trip to the potential host-city creates a new sense of awareness that provides peace of mind. Visiting neighborhoods and exploring new communities allows the family to envision a positive living experience in a new environment. Detailed information is furnished to help better understand resources within the community.
Finding an appropriate place to live is the key to adjusting to a new community. Locating a home in the right area - with someone who knows the ins and outs of the city alleviates the stress, allowing to become a rewarding experience. GEMINET's Professional Relocation Specialist understand the dynamics of the city, such as commuting distances, appropriate schooling selection, and lease negotiations among others.
A critical step in "feeling" settled is connecting with your new community. The tenuous tasks of "being official", such as obtaining a driver's license, school enrollment, local registrations (social security, ID cards), etc. are necessary and less stressful with personalized assistance. Once these tasks are completed, the expatriate and his or her family begin to focus and enjoy their new home.
In order to ensure a greater sense of security during an expatriate assignment, GEMINET offers additional support for "tricky" issues that may arise. Do the children need to change schools or change doctors? Does the family want some guidance on planning a trip? What internet or mobile phone providers are available in the area? Is there an emergency that the family needs assistance with? Answers to questions like these can alleviate any undue stress to someone new to a community.
Receive in-depth information about the community and on-going support after your move. Through this program, GEMINET provides networking opportunities, community integration, and discovery of the local culture. Make new friendships in an local and international environment.
Major adjustments must be made when accompanying expatriates to new job locations. Spouse/partner assistance bridges issues such as career enhancement, community involvement, continuing education, and volunteer opportunities. This program is designed to provide a clear understanding of the options available in the new location.

Assessment and Cross-Cultural Services for your company, assignees, and their families identify candidate compatibility and ease the cultural adjustment and learning processes throughout the assignment. Our programs ensure that your assignees adapt and perform competently in different cultural surroundings. We deliver training programs in English/Spanish. You and your assignees receive:
Increased productivity through enhanced understanding of cultural differences
Increased assignment success rates through accelerated and sustained assignee productivity
Enhanced assignee satisfaction to live and conduct business while on assignment
Cross-Cultural Training Programs increase the abilities of your international assignees and their families to adjust to and perform effectively in the new cultural environment. These programs are based on our needs assessment process, which informs us about job performance requirements for your employee; accompanying partner and family concerns; previous international experience; knowledge about the host culture; attitudes about participating in the training program; and expectations for the international assignment. Our expert intercultural trainers adapt the sessions to be most appropriate for your participants' assignment requirements and learning styles, and may include presentations, case studies, role plays, critical incidents, and guided discussions
Repatriation Programs assist your returning assignee and family in identifying the competencies and skills they acquired during their international assignment. The sessions facilitate a smooth transition to their next assignment and/or a closure to the international assignment. Participants set personal and professional goals for reintegrating into the workplace and local community.
Our a la carte menu of international services supports your employees before and after their moves. Choose only what you need:
Customized, fully accompanied 1- and 2-day pre-move tours are provided with visits to potential homes and schools, as well as recreational facilities or other places of interest to your employees and their family.
