Elevating Settlement Services to the Next Level


In today's highly interconnected world, diversifying your staff through hiring internationally is more than just a possibility; it’s become almost a necessity. Bringing in skilled employees from around the world is also a major investment for both you and them, and this is where ThriveON’s Soft Landing services come into play, evolving settlement services beyond mere relocation assistance into a holistic, personalised support system.





 What are ThriveON’s ‘Soft Landing’ Services?


Soft Landing services go beyond traditional settlement assistance, which can be little more than a list of internet links, to offering a more comprehensive and tailored approach to help newcomers feel at home and get established in their new world. These services can provide individual support in key areas such as:

  • Temporary and permanent housing: Finding a place to live is one of the most daunting tasks for newcomers. Our Soft Landing services in conjunction with our local Real Estate partners offer options for temporary accommodation upon arrival, as well as assistance in securing long-term housing.

  • Community integration: From setting up first bank accounts and securing cell phone plans, to navigating the healthcare system and getting a drivers license, Soft Landing services ensure that all the logistical hurdles are considered, and as smoothed out as possible.

  • Cultural training and language support:  A crucial component in ensuring that newcomers not only adapt but thrive in their new environment. Connections to community supports and language training in individual communities provided in the Soft Landing system help here

  • Family support: Soft Landing is there for the whole family, assisting with school registration for children, spousal education and employment services, and assistance locating daycare or senior care, as the needs be


The Benefits of Soft Landing Services


 Increased Retention

As mentioned, investing in international talent is an investment, and the recruitment or training processes can be lengthy. Soft Landing services work to ensure that new hires feel welcomed, appreciated and supported, making it more likely that they will stay with your company for the long term, and protecting your investment. When employees are well-settled and supported, they are more likely to feel a sense of belonging, protecting theirs.


 Improved Productivity by Streamlined Onboarding

When employees are bogged down by the stress of relocation, finding a home, schools for their kids or how to get their internet hooked up, it impacts their (and anybody's) ability to perform at work. Soft Landing services help to know what to expect, and to get them through these challenges as quickly as possible, allowing them to focus on the reason they are there to begin with, and to contribute more effectively. Working directly with employers ThriveON can ensure everything the employer needs from the employee can be ready as soon as needed with as little “lost in translation” as possible


 Enhanced Cultural Adaptation

Moving to a new country means adjusting to a different culture, both socially and professionally. This can often be overlooked, but Soft Landing services can help international hires and their families navigate some of these cultural differences, with maps to community and cultural services and counselling. This can lead to quicker community integration, better communication between employees, and a more harmonious workplace environment.



 In Conclusion: The Next Step for Employers


As the global workforce grows, employers who prioritise the well-being and success of their international recruits will stand out in today’s competitive markets. ThriveON’s Soft Landing services offer a key competitive advantage by showing your talent they are valued and supported from day one. Investing in these services not only makes life easier for you and  your new employees, but also has been shown to boost company loyalty, resulting in increased long-term retention and better overall productivity. When there’s fewer worries at home, we can focus on work!


As the competition for international hiring grows, make sure you are ready to protect your investments. Start by providing your hard-won talent with the peace of mind that only the ThriveON Soft Landing settlement service can bring. Contact your ThriveON representative to find out how to get started.
