Your international talent is a valuable asset. But behind every successful assignment lies something essential: a well-integrated family.
When the accompanying partner thrives, the expatriate can focus on their role. Retention improves. Performance increases. And your company’s global mobility efforts deliver their full value.
If you’re looking for a strategic way to strengthen your global mobility programme — start with the spouse.
Support Dual-Career Families at Every Stage
You’re not just relocating an employee — you’re relocating a life, or often two. Ignoring the needs of the accompanying partner can jeopardise the entire assignment.
Here’s how to create a support path that delivers long-term impact.
1. Before the Move – Prepare the Partner - Worldwide
Absolutely Ahead is a 4-week online programme designed to give expatriate spouses the tools, mindset, and structure to approach their move with confidence.
It helps them:
- Understand their new environment before arrival
- Define personal and professional goals early
- Minimise anxiety and feel in control
If you want smoother arrivals and faster adaptation, this is where to begin.
2. After Arrival – Build Belonging - In Paris
Absolutely French offers more than French classes. It creates a pathway to real integration — through language, cultural understanding, and community.
Your expatriates’ partners benefit from:
- Small, in-person French language groups (4–7 people max)
- Cultural workshops built into each lesson
- Flexible schedules (daytime or evening)
- A vibrant international community
Every month includes cultural outings — a chance to learn French and create real social ties. The result? Stronger autonomy, faster integration, and a better experience for the entire family.
And you’ll love this: 100% of participants complete the programme.
(That’s rare in language learning.)
3. Build Career Continuity - In Paris
Don’t let your company lose valuable talent to international moves. Many expatriate spouses are highly skilled professionals — yet struggle to access opportunities in a new country.
Absolutely Talented is the first career fair in France dedicated to expat spouses.
It creates real connections between international recruiters and accompanying partners — and the results speak for themselves:
- 30% of attendees find a job through the event
- Dozens more grow their network, clarify their career plan, or find freelance projects
- Participants leave with renewed confidence and purpose
It’s more than a job fair. It’s a signal: your company believes in equal opportunity, even across borders.
What you Gain
When you support the accompanying partner, you’re not just doing the right thing — you’re doing the smart thing.
Here’s what changes when you invest in French integration training and dual-career support:
- Lower assignment failure rates
- Stronger employee retention and satisfaction
- More effective international onboarding
- A more inclusive mobility policy, aligned with DEI goals
- A real answer to the dual-career challenge
You also give time back to the expatriate — time they’d otherwise spend helping their partner navigate the unknown.
That time is reinvested in your business.
