Relocation
Relocation
“For your foreign employees, there is almost nothing more important than a successful start in their new surroundings. With long-standing expertise, our relocation team ensures that expatriates are able to gain a firm footing from the very beginning, thereby enabling them to concentrate fully on their duties in the company right from the start.”
We assist foreign employees expertly with the search for an apartment, find the right schools for their children, and assist accompanying spouses on their search for a job in Switzerland. To ensure long-term success, CONVINUS maintains an extensive network of international schools and housing administrators.
Oftentimes, this are the small day-to-day questions on forms and unique aspects of Switzerland which are particularly stressful on employees at the beginning of their stay in Switzerland. Hence, CONVINUS provides an expatriate hotline to be able to give rapid and expert information about day-to-day issues. Our employees have been trained specifically for this purpose, as a number of them also relocated to Switzerland from overseas, and are therefore familiar with the initial difficulties newcomers face.
For relocation support abroad, we would be glad to refer you to our competent network partners from the CONVINUS GLOBAL NETWORK (CGN).
