Reimagine How Your Expat Employees
Experience Life Abroad
Get the results that matters most to you, your organization and your expat employees - enhanced employee wellbeing and successful international relocations.
When sending employees abroad, the stakes are high:
40% of corporate relocations fail.
Leading to premature employee exits and costing companies up to 100,000 euros per transfer.
But what causes this?
While practical challenges like housing, logistics, language, and work permits can be anticipated, the biggest hurdle is often the EMOTIONAL STRAIN.
In fact...
70% of these failures are attributed to family-related issues.
The reasons vary—from cultural differences and unmet family expectations to emotional stressors, kids' adaptation, a partner's career, and the isolation many expats feel when far from their support systems.
The emotional toll on employees and their families can lead to burnout, low morale, and a failure to integrate, which in turn directly affects work performance and relocation success
But the problem goes deeper:
70% of expats moving to Europe experience burnout, reporting high levels of stress and fatigue.
This is cause by uncertainty, permanent stress and mental exhaustion, which are very common among expats worldwide.
What does this mean for your business?
Missed business goals, strained resources, reduced productivity, and the loss of top talent that you’ve invested in relocating.
A successful relocation...
It’s not just about moving people; it’s about ensuring they create a life they enjoy living abroad.
Our experience showed that the GAME CHANGER to create a POSITIVE life abroad comes from the combination of knowledge AND mindset.
Knowledge is Power
Expats want to KNOW! They often find themselves navigating unfamiliar territories, and while relocation services can handle many practical tasks, they don’t necessarily provide the valuable knowledge that comes with them. It’s not just about having the children registered for school; it’s about understanding the nuances of the education system to ensure a smooth transition for the entire family. Similarly, receiving a local health insurance card is just the first step—without insight into how the healthcare system operates, one might feel lost and overwhelmed when seeking medical care. Knowledge equips expats with the confidence they need to interact with immigration officers, bankers, real estate agents, or even their new neighbors. This understanding not only alleviates stress but also empowers individuals to fully embrace their new lives abroad.
Mindset Is Everything
Expats need to ADAPT! Adjusting to life abroad is as much about mental resilience as it is about practical logistics. The right mindset transforms challenges into opportunities, allowing expats to see obstacles not as setbacks but as chances for growth. While limiting beliefs can weigh heavily, an empowering mindset fosters adaptability and acceptance of differences. One's mindset is reflected in his actions, reactions, thoughts, and behaviors, significantly impacting how we experience life abroad. When employees approach their new environment with a positive outlook, they can navigate cultural differences and unexpected challenges more effectively—both for themselves and their families. A healthy mindset is crucial for well-being and preventing burnout, ensuring that relocations are successful and enriching experiences for everyone involved.

We understand firsthand that the emotional and mental aspects are crucial for a successful relocation, yet they're often overlooked. So, we shed light on this and raised awareness of the matter.
We began by guiding and assisting women move abroad through online courses, coaching, and a supportive community. We've worked with hundreds of women, helping them build resilience, raise their confidence, and adopt a positive mindset to thrive in their new countries.
But inner-work alone isn't enough when it comes to living abroad. With this insight, we decided to expand Smoozitive into a platform that addresses the full range of expats' needs - logistical, social, emotional, and practical - before, during, and after relocation. Oh, and to both women and men!
