The company has offices all around Europe, and specialises in relocation and moving services in the corporate market. For over four decades, they have assisted corporate relocation and moves, providing the employees and their families with the best opportunities to become accustomed with the new situation. “It is difficult to move to a new country, perhaps with a different culture and ways of doing things. We help people settle in,” says Relocation Manager for Norway, Nadiege Monnier. The company offers a variety of services, be they visa applications, flat hunting or language courses. “When people move abroad, they often need to be ‘held by the hand’, as everything is new. We therefore aim to offer our clients help with anything,” Monnier continues.
The first office in Norway opened one and a half years ago, as a response to great demands from Shell. Now they have offices in Oslo and Stavanger covering all of Norway, and the manager sees a bright future ahead.
“We do not focus on one
particular group, but wish to help anyone with anything”
“It is expensive for a company to establish offices in new countries, and it is crucial that the employees are happy where they are, otherwise they will move away. To ensure proper relocation is therefore a winwin situation for the companies,” says Monnier. The many oil and energy companies are among TEAM Relocations’
biggest customers in Norway, but Monnier emphasises that all customers are welcome. “We do not focus on one particular group, but wish to help anyone with anything. More and more companies realise that it may be easier and cheaper to have someone external provide these services,” she says. With great knowledge of the country of residence as well as about the various backgrounds of the employees, Monnier simply notes, “We know what people must know.”
