Mercer, a global leader in human resource consulting, and RW3
LLC, a leader in Intercultural Learning and online cultural
training, have created a new product, CulturalTrainingPassport™ for
Mercer’s clients. CulturalTrainingPassport™ is an online
international assignment tool that prepares employees and their
families for their time abroad with an affordable, complete,
country-specific, training course.
CulturalTrainingPassport provides comprehensive country-specific
cultural training in an engaging, easy-to-use online format that is
cost-effective for employers looking to prepare international
assignees for expatriate assignments. The tool allows users to
build individual cultural profiles, learn about the eight
dimensions of culture, conduct in-depth country research, mentally
prepare for life abroad, and complete a confidential assessment of
their personal attributes to help them be more effective on their
assignments.
“Cultural preparation is a key consideration for organizations
sending employees on international assignments,” said Barb Marder,
Global Mobility Commercial Leader for Mercer. “Ensuring that
employees know about their new environment and what it’s like to do
business there results in a more successful assignment. That is why
we are excited to be teaming up with RW3 LLC to provide the
CulturalTrainingPassport tool to employers to help them more
effectively manage their international assignments.”
The alliance between RW3 LLC and Mercer allows expatriates and
their global mobility managers to use learning experiences in a
country-specific, individual format that can be easily integrated
into a global mobility budget.
Charlene Solomon, President of RW3 LLC said, “For years, global
HR professionals have realized the importance of providing
international assignees with cultural preparation. It is recognized
as a key element of success. However, schedules and cost have
always been the inhibiting factors. CulturalTrainingPassport
eliminates those barriers and provides an outstanding learning
resource for companies to help all their mobile employees, not just
international assignees, succeed.”
CulturalTrainingPassport makes managing the complexities of
international assignments easy and efficient. Some of the tool’s
key features include:
- Interactive, country-specific training
courses
- Comprehensive cultural and geopolitical
country profiles
- Personal cultural profiler
- Expat adjustment cycle tool
- Relocation scheduling tool
- SAGE – a validated pre-assignment
self-assessment for employee and spouse or partner
