Like hammers and wrenches, information and personal assistance come in all makes and models. Thats fine for home improvement, but building a figurative new house requires power tools. Going-there is a global destination service provider that has designed the right power tools. By marrying web-based city intelligence with on-the-ground personal assistance, Going-there provides highly customized, long-term support to relocating employees and their families.

There are two dimensions to Going-theres service: first, the Destination Consultant the face of our personalized service in over 100 cities.

They, in most cases third-country residents of the city themselves, are the conduit through which the anxious transferee gains confidence and support with the move to a foreign place. The Destination Consultant tames the unknown provides the tools a combination of information and personal support, to the relocating families. They intuitively understand newcomers needs and how to address them.

Then, GT Online. In a new environment, knowledge essential knowledge is the lamp that leads just arriving assignees out of confusion and discouragement.

Yet in this information-intense age, there is very little content tailored to expatriates needs. Travel guides abound, but where to find the safest neighbourhood in Sao Paulo, a western-trained dentist in Moscow? How does one obtain a driver s license in Frankfurt? Where are the clean-air neighbourhoods in Mexico City? What is the curriculum for the English school in Beijing? The pile of questions seems like a mountain, touching on every human need that was previously taken for granted. The effort to find answers becomes a time-consuming and uninspiring task.

The Going-there web tool addresses this need. It is a robust workforce application that provides know-how, know-where data for employees-on-the-move. It can either support the personal one-to-one service, or act in isolation, as a self-help solution to the young, tech-savvy Generation Y assignee. The web tool is currently available in 30 of our cities.
