Johnson & Wilson Worldwide understands that International relocations can be the most emotional and difficult decisions of all. We will help your company and employees with each aspect of the complicated process of international assignments. We customize all Intercultural Solutions to ensure they are convenient and meeting the needs of the organization and employee. With our extensive relocation expertise and our global partner network of experienced providers, Johnson & Wilson can efficiently and effectively move your employees around the world.
Employee Policy Counseling & Needs Assessment
The assigned relocation counselor will review the available benefits and complete a comprehensive needs assessment. The counselor coordinates each benefit or service as the assignee’s advocate – setting appointments, confirming status updates, and providing timely updates on each service. The counselor will collect information on the assignee’s needs, address timelines, and will work proactively to ensure a smooth relocation.
Tax Service
Johnson & Wilson has the ability to make foreign tax payments, tax preparation and track tax credits through our in-house accounting partners.
Immigration Service
Johnson & Wilson can assist with visa and immigration applications that will be submitted by an external immigration partner. We track and coordinate the progress throughout.
Culture & Language Training
Depending on your company and assignee needs, we can help assignees with language and cultural training. We can match them with a vendor who can work face-to-face or virtually and can even set up training with someone who specializes in working with children. Each student will be given an assessment and will work with the instructor to create a customized program with goals to help them be successful with the new language and culture.
Home Sale Assistance
We will work with the employee to sell their home, help them understand their benefits, and collect the needed documentation to process the reimbursement no matter where they are in the World. Our home sale assistance includes the full range of programs, from guaranteed buyouts and buyer value options used in the U.S. to the reimbursement of customary commissions and closing costs throughout the world.
Destination Purchase or Rental Assistance
We will assist in identifying, negotiating, contracting and obtaining permanent housing in a new location. Whether it is local or across the world, Johnson and Wilson Wordlwide has you covered. We will assist throughout the relocation with driver license services, local registrations, school searching, opening bank accounts, health & wellness options, finding local amenities, neighborhood research and so much more.
Partner Assistance
We understand that when an assignee moves to a new country that the acclimation process can be difficult for their families. Johnson & Wilson can facilitate any type of partner assistance from career and education assistance to acclimation support. We can ensure they find a local community group, health & wellness classes, salons, children’s groups and more.
Area Tours, Virtual Programs & Pre-Decision Trips
We can assist in completing an in person or virtual pre-decision trip and area tour to see if the international move is the right choice for the employee and company. This includes an initial goal review and needs assessment to help advise on questions and concerns from the very beginning to ensure the merit of the relocation. We will address schools, communities, weather and so much more prior to beginning the housing search. It is critical that the employee understands the relocation program benefits, the estimated value of their current home and/or a sense of the cost and the community of the new location. For the employer, identifying costs and potential candidates challenges up front aides in identifying costs and potential pitfalls that could occur during the relocation.
Household Goods & Freight Forwarding
Whether relocating across the state or across the globe, we have a high quality network of move management vendors to ensure less claims, happier employees and on time deliveries.
Interim Services
We will assist with temporary housing that meets or exceeds certain service delivery requirements as well as transportation and travel arrangements. We work to find options that will best meet your assignee’s needs as well as the company’s goals.
Ongoing Support & Repatriation
We don’t just stop at the relocation. We assist with preparing the assignee for the move, travel arrangements, career management while on assignment, additional training and continued follow up and support for the first 6 months to ensure your assignees feel welcome, settled, and valued.
