For US corporate employees traveling to Israel on long term assignments, Transmark offers a comprehensive pre-departure “Living in Israel” cross-cultural workshop designed to significantly reduce the extent of culture shock, disorientation and anxiety associated with relocation to a new, foreign and largely unfamiliar environment. Beyond preparatory coaching, Transmark can supply information crucial to the “settling in” process of an executive and his family. Tips, guidance, and assistance provided by Transmark on issues directly related to the naturalization period in Israel, can facilitate the relocation process by freeing the transferee from burdens associated with logistical arrangements and enabling him to begin his business assignment without excess delay.

For family members accompanying employees to Israel, Transmark’s cross-cultural training can be an especially valuable resource for improving the family’s ability to adjust to, and live in the foreign Israeli environment.

Some of the subjects that can be covered by a customized Transmark Intercultural “Living in Israel” Training Program

• Contemporary Israeli History, Geography and Demography

• The Personality, Psychology and Lifestyles Of Israelis 

• Family Life In Israel 

• Education And Personal Achievement In Israel 

• Work And Leisure In Israel

The “Living in Israel” preparatory program can be augmented by an on-site (in Israel) orientation period beginning upon arrival at the airport and including an initial introduction to the physical and cultural surroundings in which the executive and his family will live and work. Transmark’s coaches can shorten the critical tuning period and streamline a family’s adjustment by accompanying and facilitating some of the early organizational, bureaucratic and lifestyle tasks associated with arrival in Israel.
