Relocation Tips: Everything You Need for a Successful Relocation
Getting Settled In Your New Home
Receiving Your Personal Belongings
As soon as you arrive in your new city, you should contact the local Crown office. Crown’s worldwide team speaks 37 languages, which will help you communicate if you do not speak the native language. Your local Crown Consultant will confirm:
- the status and delivery date of your personal belongings
- items being transported into local storage
- details of your pet’s transfer
- orientation tours and other relocation services
Be sure to advise your Consultant if access to your home is difficult, so the Crew will be fully prepared for the delivery.
Relocation Services
Taking an overseas assignment used to mean packing a suitcase and showing up for work in another part of the world. Once the fog of jet lag lifts, however it becomes clear that adjustments have to be made. Where’s a convenient place to live? What will the partner do with his or her partner away at work? And without knowing the language of a place, simple things like finding the grocery store can be difficult. A Crown Relocation Specialist can arrange services to ease this transition—from the moment you step off the plane to the time you’re ready to pack and return home. The Crown staff understands the challenges you face as a newcomer. Worldwide, one in six Crown employees is an expatriate living and working outside his or her home country. Crown Can Ease the Transition by:
- Greeting you at the airport.
- Locating a home for your family.
- Finding a suitable school for your children.
- Showing you the community resources your new city offers.
- Assisting with obtaining a driver’s license or social security card.
- Helping you open a bank account.
- Arranging a rental car.
- Providing networking opportunities.
- Searching for partner employment.
- Familiarizing you and your family with the local culture and language.
