IMMIGRATION OFFICE HOURS FOR COMPANIES
Keep your top international talent happy & productive
while offloading your busy HR & legal teams
The Problem
Stressed-out employees can lose up to 36% productivity, or even worse, leave the company, creating more work for swamped HR/Legal teams.
Companies can’t scale responsiveness to employees’ personal questions, causing stress to employees. To your employees, there is no difference between their work visa and their personal immigration issues – it’s all just “immigration” to them.
They spend months looking for attorneys to help them. Legal insurance/ benefits don’t have business immigration options.
Stressed employees lose ~10% productivity and turn over, creating more work for swamped HR/Legal teams.
The Solution
Our legal wellness platform that gives immigrant employees at large organizations instant access to a network of experts who can:
Talk about their personal immigration questions
Reduce their stress
Increase their productivity
What We Do
We can help with the legal issues your employees routinely (and quietly) agonize over, like:
- Travel restrictions keeping them from visiting family abroad
- How to help family travel over here
- Spousal work permit delays
- Difficulty getting driver’s licenses
- Fear of children aging out
- How to help my company and their law firm on RFE responses
- Long green card backlogs and missed opportunities
- General strategy questions for spouse’s immigration status
What We Won't Do
We won’t contradict the advice of your company’s law firm or the messaging and strategy of your Global Mobility team.
In most cases, we help reinforce the advice your employees have previously received, helping them feel even more confidence in their HR team and corporate immigration law firm
Outcomes
Improvement in depression and anxiety levels can result in:
50% less work hours missed
+36% increase in productivity
Immigration is even more stressful than you can imagine. We can help reduce employee anxiety and stress while at the same increasing productivity.
