Living Abroad's OurWorldConnect
How can OurWorldConnect help Inform, Connect and Empower your Assignees -- leading to Assignment Success -- and really SAVE you money?
OurWorldConnect is the world's first private social network designed for people moving overseas. Specifically built for companies and organizations, OWC's software platform delivers tools and resources for their international assignees in addition to the networking interface. Relocating someplace where you do not know anyone can be traumatic. Assignees tend to join work-related social networks, but spouses and family members have a much harder time making local contacts. International assignees and their families can connect to others moving to or living in the same destination and use the latest in online social media to get and stay connected. Like college students who know their classmates and roommates before showing up for school, connecting in advance of a major relocation can benefit the whole family and lead to a more successful assignment.
Save Money
By making the latest self-help tools available to assignees and their families, companies can spend less time and money toward on-the-ground support services, and assignees get a quicker, smoother start acclimating to their new surroundings. Empowered by the knowledge they tap into via corporate and destination networks, employee demands on HR and other resources are eased. Younger assignees maintain the connections they thrive on, and enjoy the tools and services that help the whole family adjust to the new home. Happy families translate to successful assignments.
Communicate Better
OurWorldConnect is HR's one-stop spot for assignee communication. Load company documents, forms, and policies online and they are just a click away from assignees and spouses. Post announcements on users' home pages.
Users can create their own blogs, join in a selected list of relocation forums, and exchange private messages with HR and other users. Questions are posed to the OurWorldConnect community for answers.
