Some organizations ask employees to manage their own relocation, often with the intention of controlling costs. In practice, however, this approach can lead to uncertainty, frustration, and unnecessary stress—well before the employee’s first day at work. When employees and their families feel unsupported during such a major life transition, engagement and morale can suffer.
Experience shows that when accompanying partners or families struggle to settle in, assignments are at a higher risk of early termination. By investing in professional relocation support, companies protect their talent investment and create a positive foundation for a long-term, successful employment relationship.

Clear Expectation Management from Day One
Immigration Process and Local Registration
We prepare employees and their families for what to expect before, during, and after their move to Norway. This includes a clear explanation of the immigration application process and hands-on guidance through local registration procedures.
Our step-by-step support ensures that all requirements are in place as quickly as possible, enabling employees and their families to become fully functional residents as soon as possible after their arrival —opening bank accounts, accessing healthcare, and integrating smoothly into daily life.
Home Finding
We guide employees through the full home-finding process while setting realistic expectations about the Norwegian rental market. Our support includes:
- Up-to-date information about market trends
- Assistance with drafting lease offers and lease agreements
- Professional negotiation with homeowners on behalf of your employee
- Accompaniment during property handover
- Preparation of a detailed move-in condition report to protect against unreasonable dilapidation claims at move-out
This structured approach saves time, reduces risk, and provides peace of mind for both the employee and the employer.
Look and See Trip / Pre-Visit
Many companies choose to offer a Look & See trip (Pre-Visit) prior to the official start of employment. The purpose is to ensure that all practical matters are addressed in advance, allowing the employee to focus on work from day one.
We can organize tailored programs that may include:
- Home-finding activities
- Settling-in orientation
- School and daycare visits
- Local area introductions
When employees and their families return for the actual start date, they do so with clarity, confidence, and a sense of readiness.
In addition, some clients engage us to provide consultation sessions for potential candidates before they accept a job offer. These sessions help address concerns about living and working in Norway, enabling candidates and their families to make well-informed decisions—reducing the risk of declined offers or early withdrawals.
Additional Services to Support Long-Term Success
To further support integration and retention, we also offer:
- Settling-in Services
- Area Orientation Sessions
- Intercultural training for employees and accompanying family members
These services help families adapt quickly to Norwegian culture and everyday life, strengthening overall assignment success.
