We help expats navigate key challenges with greater ease

The Harvard Business Review reports that two in five senior managers will leave their role within the first 18 months of the job due to insurmountable pressure.

This report was global, but in Switzerland the challenges arising from work issues are arguably even worse. There is a serious problem with burnout, and the fact that a large proportion of the workforce is made up of expats adds further layers of unique challenges and complexities.

Expat life does not always generate the anticipated levels of satisfaction and contentment. Adjusting to a radically different culture and language can be an overwhelming experience, especially when coupled with moving away from your family and support networks. However talented and socially gifted, many people find it challenging to adjust to their new circumstances.

Handling heavy work responsibilities in a new country can be a tough balancing act and many are unaware of the trials that lie in wait in the complex nature of expat life.

Essential Conversations offers support to mitigate these challenges with greater ease.
