What do accompanying partners need during an international assignment?

Accompanying partners are a critical success factor for every international assignment. Their preparation and support play a key role in whether an assignment truly succeeds in the long run.

And yet, partners are often the most underestimated group in the entire process. While expats typically find structure and connection through their professional environment, partners often don’t have that same foundation. They face cultural differences more directly in everyday life and need to build a new social network from scratch.

Targeted preparation makes the difference

That’s exactly why focused preparation is essential. Expat partners need to understand how communication, social expectations, and daily life differ in the host country. At the same time, they need practical strategies to deal with uncertainty, isolation, and cultural challenges.

Equally important is mental preparation: Relocating to another country always comes with emotional ups and downs. Those who are prepared for this can navigate these phases with much greater confidence.
