The mental well-being of employees directly impacts their productivity and quality of life. With more than half of workers facing stress levels that affect their health, companies have both the opportunity —and the responsibility— to implement preventive measures and provide effective tools to make a difference.
This becomes especially critical in situations of change, such as international work mobility, where personal and professional challenges can intensify if not managed properly.

Managing Stress in International Work Mobility
Relocating an employee to another country involves changes that affect every aspect of their life. Global mobility brings adjustments to their work, family, relationships, home, local customs, language, climate, diet, and even leisure activities. This process can lead to a strong cultural shock.
Common Negative Effects of Stress:
- Anxiety and depression.
- Headaches and muscle pain.
- Digestive problems and cardiovascular diseases.
- Loss of concentration and attention, reducing work productivity.
- Sleep disturbances, exhaustion, hormonal imbalances, and weight changes.
Properly managing change and providing quality global mobility services can significantly reduce the stress caused by relocation, ensuring a positive experience for employees.
Common Mistakes in Employee Relocation and How to Avoid Them
- Underestimating the Complexity of the Process:
Minimizing the impact of international mobility on the employee and their environment is one of the most common mistakes. The necessary procedures, both before and after relocation, as well as the needs of the employee and their family, are often more complex than they initially appear.
- Ignoring the Time and Costs Involved:
Many companies fail to account for the total timeframes and costs associated with relocation, leading to stress for the employee and a negative experience that could have been avoided with proper management.
To prevent these mistakes, it is essential to rely on Global Mobility Services specialists. At Eres Relocation, we support both companies and employees, ensuring the process is satisfactory for all parties.
