With some 20 years’ experience in the field of expat partner support, Global Connection is always looking at ways to further expand its support products and services. We closely track market developments and conduct surveys that help us keep abreast of expat partner needs.
General / Self-Support: our core values
Global Connection’s core General / Self-Support activities remain the foundation of what we offer expat partners. These are resourceful individuals. In general they are also well-educated and skilled individuals. That’s why our General / Self-Support package mainly supports partners by providing them with information, part of which is based on partner experience. It’s compiled using a multi-channel approach that includes magazines and books (both print and digital formats), email newsletters, our members-only website containing both general and destination-specific information, as well as networking options and a helpdesk.
Exchange of job postings
By listening to our expat partners and clients, we’ve grown Global Connection into a one-stop-shop destination for partner support. We are continually looking at ways to improve our products and services by taking advantage of the latest developments in international mobility. For instance, we’re currently exploring how we can more actively support the exchange of job postings – one of the topics we’re focusing on in our June HR workshop.
Expanding personalised support
Due to market demand, we’re currently taking great strides to expand the training and coaching activities we offer as part of our personalised partner support package. In doing so, we’re not just focusing on career options, but looking at the entire spectrum of partner support. We strongly believe that a demand-driven, modular approach can help both expat partners and international organisations use their budgets more cost-efficiently.
