International Inbound to US & Canada
There is a whole world outside of our comfort zone, especially when moving to a new country. Your talent is already excited, anxious, adventurous yet uncomfortable. Do they also feel supported?
PorchLight Shines at Supporting
PorchLight shines at welcoming and supporting your mobile workforce transitioning to the U.S. and Canada. Relocation can be challenging at many levels, however when you add the element of moving to a new country with the complexities of all the diverse elements and of course the cultural and often language differences, it can be overwhelming. These transferees require a higher level of support than domestic to domestic moves and PorchLight is highly experienced in this area.
Our Arrival Guide
PorchLight is the professional resource helping employees and their families become familiar with their new destination. Establishing banking, learning the area, identifying the perfect home, managing the social security process, and obtaining a driver’s license and vehicle registration are often vital needs of transferring employees. PorchLight’s counseling and Electronic Arrival Guide aids employees and families with having the necessary documents and an understanding of the process and timeline for addressing all of their needs. See this video for a sneak peek at what your transferees receive.
