At Ease Overseas:

Our mission is to equip our clients with the insights, strategies, and skills to communicate and compete effectively in the global marketplace…while preventing the unnecessary and dealing with the inevitable.

What Makes Us Different?

We offer clients a unique range of capabilities and expertise. Moreover, our academic and clinical credentials are coupled with more than 20 years' corporate consulting experience carried out in some of the most challenging international markets.

BION consultants view cross-cultural learning and individual adjustment as an integrated process. By offering a unified approach, we provide targeted training and employee assistance programming that maximize the potential for success in the international workplace.

By effectively assessing client needs and in-house resources, we work with existing systems and personnel to broaden capabilities and reinforce learning. Our organizational skills assist managers in identifying the impact of individual differences, work group dynamics, and cultural patterns on technical or business problems overseas. In addition, we can contribute to assessments of operational liability in relation to international employees and the provision of equivalent services.

BION provides a full range of support for international operations, beginning with a needs assessment to determine what kind of services your company and employees may need. Once your needs have been identified, we will build a customized intercultural services plan designed to meet your objectives, timeline and budget.

Our programs are geared to bottom-line performance criteria as well as the specific needs of individuals, work groups and corporate systems operating internationally.

BION's intercultural services include:

• Intercultural needs assessment
• Employee selection/screening for international assignments
• Employee/family relocation preparation
• Re-entry strategies and assistance
• Cross cultural training seminars
• Just-in-time research and briefings
• Coaching and Cultural Exploration in Africa and Asia (links to Namibia and Ladies in Asia programs described in Discovery Travel and Corporate Coaching)
