Core Services
Our global presence and range of services help your employees get settled and become productive as quickly as possible, anywhere in the world.
Visa & Immigration
Global immigration can feel like a maze. We make it navigable. NuCompass partners with experienced immigration firms to guide employees and their families through every step, including document preparation, application submission, appointment scheduling, and compliance with destination-country regulations. Support is tailored to each assignment type and family situation to reduce delays, minimize risk, and maintain full compliance from start to finish. With coordinated oversight and clear communication, employees move forward knowing their immigration journey is fully supported.
Candidate Assessment
Picking the right people for international assignments starts with knowing who is truly ready. Candidate assessment provides structured guidance so employers can evaluate suitability for global roles, looking at adaptability, family readiness, cultural awareness, and alignment with the assignment. Insights from this process surface potential challenges early and ensure employees receive the right resources to succeed abroad. It is a proactive approach that leads to stronger decisions and more successful global placements.
Relocation Allowance Administration
Relocation allowances should empower employees, not confuse them. NuCompass manages the full process, helping employees understand what their allowance covers, how to access it, and how to track spending throughout the move. Payments are issued promptly and in line with country-specific tax and payroll rules, reducing the administrative load for both employee and employer. This streamlined approach gives employees the flexibility they need while keeping governance, visibility, and cost control firmly in place for the organization.
Cultural Training
New country, new rules of engagement. Cultural training prepares employees and their families for the realities of daily life, from workplace expectations and communication styles to local customs and social norms. Through instructor-led or virtual learning, each experience builds cultural awareness and confidence. The result is a smoother adjustment abroad and fewer surprises in those first crucial months.
Language Training
Confidence in a new country often starts with being able to say what you mean. Our language training solutions support employees and families through instructor-led sessions, virtual classes, and self-paced digital courses that fit different learning styles and schedules. Whether someone prefers immersive, in-person lessons or flexible online modules, each program is tailored to current proficiency, daily life needs, and assignment demands. Every learner gets the tools and support to feel capable, connected, and at home in their new language.
Education Assessment and School Placement
For families, finding the right school can matter as much as finding the right job. Education specialists help parents understand local systems, identify suitable schools, and navigate application requirements based on each child’s academic needs, learning style, and future plans. Support can include reviewing curricula, coordinating school visits, and guiding families through enrollment timelines and documentation. Every step is designed to reduce uncertainty and set each child up for a strong start in their new environment.
Home Marketing
Selling a home during an international assignment is loaded with financial and emotional weight. We combine market expertise, hands-on guidance, and disciplined program management to achieve the best possible result in the shortest reasonable time. Each property is evaluated through a data-informed process that considers local market trends, pricing strategy, and timing. Our relocation real estate professionals coordinate with approved brokers, providing ongoing oversight and negotiation support to protect employee equity and your company’s investment. The outcome is a sale experience that is efficient, compliant, and financially sound.
Property Management
Keeping a home while on assignment should feel like an asset, not a stress point. Professional property management services coordinate maintenance, repairs, inspections, and security throughout the assignment. When the property is leased, support can extend to tenant communication and rent collection. Every arrangement is aligned with policy and tailored to the homeowner’s preferences so employees can focus fully on their assignment instead of worrying about the home they left behind.
Travel Coordination
International relocation comes with a lot of moving parts. We bring order to the itinerary. Travel coordination may include flights, temporary lodging, ground transportation, and family travel logistics, all managed in alignment with policy and destination requirements. Support is delivered through trusted global travel partners or in collaboration with internal travel teams, ensuring cost control and clarity. From departure to arrival, each itinerary is built to reduce uncertainty and make the transition as straightforward as possible.
Policy Administration
In a global setting, policy administration is where expertise, empathy, and consistency meet. NuCompass consultants help employees understand how their international policy plays out in real life. They answer questions, clarify benefits, and navigate the gray areas that inevitably appear across borders. Support includes interpreting entitlements, applying policies consistently across countries and assignment types, and helping employees make informed decisions along the way. Every interaction reinforces program integrity while delivering a human, reassuring experience for families in the middle of major life change.
Expense Management
Global moves generate complex expenses that demand discipline and precision. NuCompass manages the entire process in-house, avoiding outsourcing and offshore models so quality, data security, and responsiveness stay high across every assignment. Our team handles review, audit, payment, and payroll reporting in multiple currencies and in alignment with country-specific tax and policy requirements. Each claim is evaluated carefully, and employees receive clear guidance on what is covered and how to submit expenses efficiently. The result is less administrative friction and more financial accuracy for both employees and mobility teams.
Compensation Administration
Compensation on international assignments cannot be guesswork. NuCompass administers assignment-related pay components such as cost-of-living allowances, housing stipends, hardship premiums, and other location-based adjustments in alignment with policy and payroll rules. Calculations are completed with close attention to accuracy, compliance, and timing so employees receive the right support and companies maintain cost control and governance. Clear communication and consistent delivery help employees understand their package and feel confident in the financial framework of their assignment.
Household Goods Transportation
Moving belongings across borders is a different league than a standard domestic move. We manage both air and surface shipments through experienced international carriers who understand customs regulations, transit timelines, and destination requirements. Our teams oversee professional packing and loading using international-grade materials and techniques designed to protect belongings along the way. Air freight provides a fast solution for the essentials employees need immediately, while surface shipments offer a cost-effective option for larger volumes. From export documentation and packing standards to customs clearance and final delivery, we manage every detail to create a predictable, low-stress experience.
Household Goods Storage
Timing gaps and long-term assignments often create a need for dependable storage. Employees can store household goods temporarily during transit or for the full duration of an assignment. Belongings are professionally packed, documented, and secured until they are needed again. Each shipment is carefully prepared for extended storage and returned in the same condition, whether it is waiting for a shipping window, a permanent home, or the employee’s return from abroad.
Temporary Accommodation
Landing in a new country should feel exciting, not chaotic. Secure, comfortable temporary housing is a key part of that experience. We coordinate fully furnished accommodations worldwide through trusted global providers who understand each destination’s nuances, from local housing standards and safety expectations to commute patterns and neighborhood culture. Every stay is tailored to policy, family needs, and assignment length so employees feel supported from the moment they arrive. With careful attention to comfort, convenience, and compliance, we help build a smooth launch into the new environment and set the stage for long-term success abroad.
Area Orientation
A great international move starts with knowing how life actually works in the new location. Area orientation gives employees and families a practical look at neighborhoods, commuting options, local amenities, and the overall rhythm of daily life. Guided tours and tailored discussions help them weigh housing choices, schools, transportation, and community fit based on their own priorities. This early insight lowers anxiety, speeds up decision-making, and creates a stronger foundation for settling in.
Settling-In
Those first days in a new country come with a long list of tasks. Settling-in support helps families tackle the essentials that make daily life function. Assistance can include opening bank accounts, registering for local services, setting up utilities, obtaining mobile phones, and understanding key community resources. With guided support, employees and their families learn how to navigate these systems quickly, reducing stress and freeing them up to focus on work and home life sooner.
Rental Assistance
Finding the right rental home abroad requires more than online searching. Destination experts support employees through the full process, explaining market norms, highlighting neighborhoods that match lifestyle and commute needs, arranging property viewings, and clarifying lease terms that may be unfamiliar. Each experience is aligned with policy and family requirements, giving employees the information and context they need to choose confidently. This personalized guidance accelerates decisions and makes the move-in experience far smoother.
Spouse/Partner Assistance
A successful international relocation lifts the entire household, not just the assignee. Dedicated spouse and partner support offers career and integration guidance from specialists trained in relocation. Services can include job search strategies, résumé preparation, networking resources, volunteer options, and community connections tailored to the destination. Support also helps partners understand local culture, daily life, and avenues to build a sense of belonging. The goal is to reduce disruption, strengthen family stability, and create a more confident, sustainable move abroad.
