The essential task of supporting assignees and their families has become an increasingly integral part of the relocation process but until now has been a people-intensive process. HR and global mobility teams often need on the spot answers to questions on everything from work permits to guidance on schools and accommodation – the list, is endless.Relocating abroad with school-age children creates a unique challenge for a transferring employee and family. Understanding school options in a new country and identifying the best fit for each child can be daunting, compounded by curriculum alignment to support education repatriation when going on an international assignment.When ranking priorities related to an international move particularly, families will typically rate their children’s education as a top priority and will base their decision to accept the assignment on how the child’s education abroad will maximise their learning potential and enhance their overall educational experience.
