Cross Cultural Training for Executive Relocations to Australia
Executives moving to Australia from countries culturally similar are often surprised at some of the more subtle
differences that exist between countries such as Australia and the USA or the UK. Those moving to Australia from
areas more culturally diverse to Australia may have many aspects they need to become aware of to enable them
to manage and relate effectively.
Cross Cultural Training for Executive Relocations out of Australia
Cross cultural training provides information, insights, and strategies for Executives to
build inter-cultural competence enabling them to manage effectively in a different cultural environment.
Cross Cultural Training Programs designed by TCC can be adapted to any destination and designed to increase
the cultural competency of an individual, groups or families.

Relocating to Australia
Australia is generally viewed as a very positive location in which to live. In a survey by Mercer
Human Resource Consulting, Sydney ranked eighth in the world for quality of life, behind
Zurich, Vancouver, Vienna and Geneva among others. Other Australian cities also rated highly, with Melbourne ranked 12
th, Perth 20th, and Adelaide and Brisbane equal 24th.
All were ranked ahead of the leading global financial centers of New York and London, creating
an attractive perspective of various locations across the Australian continent.
As such it is viewed positively by many executives considering relocation.
Many people are drawn to work in Australia valuing the following aspects “political stability,
personal freedom, hospital services, availability of consumer goods, climate and the accessibility
of sport and leisure activities," according to Mercer principal Rob Knox.
Does this mean the relocation is always smooth and easy? Not necessarily, many International Human
Resource Managers, responsible for Executive relocation or employee relocation services, have stories
of people positive about the transfer to Australia and eager to adapt, who encountered difficulties
in the first few months. Even positive environments mean major changes and family members may have
different perspectives on what makes an environment positive. Training or coaching Programs can ease
these difficulties and enable the relocation to proceed more smoothly.
