Launched just over a year ago by experienced cross-cultural trainer and career coach, Anne-Claude Lambelet, hereigo is a rapidly growing community platform designed to support accompanying spouses/partners relocating to the Lake Geneva region.
Through a unique combination of training sessions, webinars, 1:1 coaching, regular JobClub meetings and forums, the hereigo team of seasoned career and culture coaches helps partners learn everything they need to know about their new environment so that they can make informed choices and take appropriate action to support their personal and professional objectives. By fostering links both within and outside the member community, hereigo believes its members have the best possible opportunity for success in both career continuation and social integration.
Explaining the rationale behind her business, Anne-Claude told knowitall.ch, “In my 20 years of experience in cross-cultural training, career partner support, and expatriation management coaching, it has become evident to me that unless daily living issues are satisfactorily resolved and culture-specific know-how and adequate etiquette are integrated by the spouse/career partner, it is extremely difficult for new arrivals to focus successfully on those issues that are essential for helping them find a job or simply settle into their new environment. Since numerous studies rate spouse/partner integration as key to assignment success, it is critical that local companies give serious consideration to the needs of accompanying partners in the relocation process.”
She continued, “The hereigo method is based on 3 axes: daily living, culture and career continuation. Our experienced cross-cultural trainers and subject matter experts make learning the ropes and understanding the local culture fun! We use a blended learning approach that accommodates conceptual learning, different learning styles and members’ availability, as we know experiential learning cannot be achieved in a day or two of training. Our annual membership programs have been designed to provide numerous opportunities for ongoing learning and reinforcement.”
All new members who sign up for hereigo’s services have access to the company’s extensive series of interactive webinars, which provide a sound grounding in daily living, swiss culture, and career continuation. They also receive an exploratory 1:1 session about their “fit” within the local job market, and have the opportunity of attending the JobClub’s fortnightly meetings, and participating in forums and special interest groups. Anyone signing up for the Gold package will have the additional option of attending a choice of face-to-face training sessions. Platinum members receive the highest level of service and are eligible for 1:1 coaching sessions to support them through their job search. Click here for more information on the individual packages.
