At Interoots, we acknowledge that the journey of moving across borders transcends mere geographical relocation – it is a holistic and transformative process that deeply influences every facet of an expatriate's life.
Our comprehensive and personalized cross-cultural adjustment service aims at enabling individuals to flourish both personally and professionally in new settings. By honing in on the human aspects of transition, we guide expatriates in traversing the intricacies of a novel culture. We empower them to forge impactful connections and instill a sense of belonging in their new communities and workplaces.
Our unique approach, blending Tati's HR expertise with her first-hand expat experience, cultivates improved well-being for individuals and promotes long-term success and retention for businesses.
The Interoots cross-cultural adjustment program uses 'The Roots of Life' as a compass to guide the family through advising sessions.
This proprietary methodology branches from the wheel of life concept, adapting the vital pillars that are indispensable for personal and professional fulfillment in a new-land scenario.
Our advisory process unfolds over six pivotal 1 hour long sessions. In each session, we jointly explore the main relevant areas of 'The Roots of Life'.
By the end of our journey together, we ensure that all these eight vital domains are fulfilled in your new home.
The program is divided into two critical phases, which take place during a 90 day interval: Pre-Move Preparation and Post-Move Integration, providing steadfast support to the expatriate and their family throughout the entire moving phase, from departing one's hometown to landing in the new location.
