Our team does just that for living: we optimize and automate HR processes. With the help of BOTO, your Human Resource managers can focus on crucial stuff (like corporate prosecco brunches).
🚀 We felt an urge to update the checklist due to the fact that the world turned into a depressing hellhole bursting into flames. Relocation is on the rise and these sexy yellow thingies include some much-needed extra steps.
🚀 Share a boarding checklist with the aspiring applicant. Fill it with:
– bureaucratic requirements – all the documents to pass the border and apply for a legal job;
– pros and cons of the specific country (weather, infrastructure, religion, etc.);
– things you need to pack (from region-specific medical stuff and clothes you will need to e-cig supplies and kitchen utensils);
– short questionnaire about the relocation circumstances (family, pets, place to live, reasons to leave).
🚀
– It’s good to track your hire’s location (not in a creepy way). Ask about the flights and arrival times.
– Check on arrival – mom tells it’s a nice thing to do.
– Provide the newcomer with some insights collected from the relocated members of the team. A small user-friendly guide will come in handy.
🚀 Buddypicking (is it even a word?) for relocatees requires some extra effort. Try to pick someone with relevant experience: little kids, same origins, shared hobbies.
🚀 It would be nice to bring more relocates for the gig. Socialism is our end-goal. Sorry, I meant socialization. Or not.
🚀 The spreadsheet of useful local services and sites comes for the rescue at this point. Indeed, how do they call Craigslist in Lithuania?
🚀 At this point, people usually start to think about the crazy load of stuff they need for propper living: school for kids, some furniture, paperwork attendances, you probably know the drill. It would be nice to discuss some rescheduling with spare day hours during the first months.
🚀 Two weeks have passed and it’s time to check on employees’ well-being not just inside the office. Gently ask about living conditions and adaptation issues.
That would also be great to have a chat with the previously attended buddy.
🚀 At this point, the prolonged vacation turns into actual relocation. And here you come with:
– local cultural events digest;
– language practice masked as lunches with local employees.
🚀 Once again, some rain check over living conditions might help – your potential worker of the week is halfway through probation.
🚀 The key point for a relocatee now is some kind of a roadmap. Next steps, raise options, and extra benefits. As long as some certainty is attained, the company needs to drive it even further.
