Area Orientation
Acclimating to a new location is a crucial first step to feeling at home. Once the assignee arrives, the Destination Services consultant will begin a show and tell to reset the assignee's personal compass.
- An overview of the local housing market, using maps and data to highlight the key factors based on the pre-arrival assessment
- Familiarization with the local medical facilities, including urgent care centers, hospitals and concentrations of medical professionals
- Locations of leisure, entertainment, dining, shopping, cultural, sports events & facilities
- An explanation of the public transportation system, its cost and how/where to access it
- An overview of historic places of interest, especially those of particular importance to the local community
- An overview of family research results; for example, local hobbies, favorite family activities, networking options, language schools, places of worship
- Location of key local, state and federal government offices, including police and fire
This process is tailored to the unique needs and interests of the assignee and their family. The goal is to introduce the assignee to the area and increase their comfort level in the new location.
We are getting very excited about the move. We really enjoyed the time that we spent with Gerard. He is a really nice guy. He even volunteered to research churches for us because he knows that finding a good church is important to us. Relocating is a huge stressful process and Gerard helped us over one major hurdle.
