Who prepares executives and employees before an overseas assignment to Canada, the US or Asia-Pacific?

What the program covers

Being technically excellent is not enough when you cross a border. The program gets people effective from the first day of the assignment, not the first year.

• ✦Cultural Intelligence (CQ) assessment and development
• ✦Leadership style adaptation for the host country
• ✦Communication and relationship building across cultures
• ✦Psychological resilience for relocation
• ✦Repatriation coaching for the return transition

Who it is for

Korean executives assigned to North America, North American managers relocating to Korea or Asia-Pacific, and multinationals sending talent across borders, including the spouse and family when they relocate too.

How it works

The program begins before departure with a Birkman profile and a readiness plan, continues through the first months in the host country with coaching, and closes with repatriation support. Companies can enrol one assignee or run it as a standard step for every posting.

Every program is designed and delivered by Natalie Yun, SHRM-SCP, Certified Birkman Consultant and Brain-Based Coaching Certified, with more than 25 years of international HR leadership, in English or Korean.

Frequently asked questions

When should it start?

Ideally two to three months before departure, with coaching continuing after arrival.

Does it include repatriation?

Does it cover HR setup for the assignment?

Contracts, payroll and policy for cross-border postings are handled by Cross-Border HR Setup, which pairs well with this program.
