Employee Relocation - Children's Support Advice Hub

Why Children's Support is Important

In their experience of supporting International Children Expat Valley have found many common benefits to extending your organisations care to international children and their families. 

• Employee Experience - By recognizing the needs of children, you develop a sense of community and strong bond between the child, their parents, and your organization.
• Risk Management - Create stability by reducing the number of failed international assignments as a result of family stress.
• Wellbeing - Happy children = happy assignments
• Retention - Earn the loyalty and trust of your international employees by caring for their children.
• Innovation - Increase your relevancy by introducing a new approach in the landscape of international migration and wellbeing.
• DE&I - By showing empathy for children currently growing up across borders, you’re also acknowledging the diverse international backgrounds and stories of your own organization’s workforce.
• Sustainability - By making future generations’ best interests part of your North Star vision, you’re able to make business decisions more responsibly.
• Work-life balance - Improve employees’ productivity and engagement by supporting their family with adjustment challenges.
• Talent Acquisition - Invest in your attractiveness for young generations that increasingly care about organizations’ legacy, purpose and reputation
• Brand Building - It’s the right thing to do. Letting children actively participate in the assignment gives them the chance to become fans of your business and share in the pride of your brand.
