As an employer, you know how important it is to keep your employees challenged, stimulated and above all, happy. It is a well-known fact that content employees working within a positive environment are a key ingredient to corporate success.
Regardless of the many benefits of relocation, not to mention the excitement it entails, moving overseas is never an easy or simple process for any employee. This is especially true of employees with families. With relocation, many uncertainties, complicated logistics and hours of planning lay ahead for both employee and employer.
This is where we come in. We offer our efficient and courteous corporate relocation services to companies and corporations all over the world who relocate their employees to or from Israel. With Sonigo, you can rest assure your employees are in the best of hands. We will contact them months before their relocation and help them define their housing, family and community needs.

Sonigo specializes in helping organizations obtain visas and work permits for their relocated employees. We are proficient in taking care of all bureaucratic matters and formalizing your employees’ stay in their new country.
Every country has its own tax and pension regulations and benefits. Relocated employees’ salaries are calculated in accordance with their new country’s tax laws. Due to the fact that tax and pension systems may differ from that of their country of origin, Sonigo’s representatives will educate your employees on their tax obligations and benefits, as well as helping them make informed decisions regarding the best pension plan for them and their family.
Prior to your employees’ arrival, they will receive pictures and descriptions of housing options via email that will help them understand where they are going to live. The options given are in full accordance with the needs specified to us, including house size and style, specific city and workplace proximity. Our representative will be in close contact with your employees and will help them make an educated decision about their new home.
After picking a home, Sonigo’s private relocation liaison will handle the lease logistics to ensure that everything goes smoothly, as well as making sure all the necessary repairs and adjustments are taken care of.
To reduce hotel expenses and allow your employees and their families to immediately move into their new home, we recommend renting furniture until their container arrives. Some families elect to store their furniture in their home country and will use rented furniture throughout their stay. This helps to reduce shipping expenses.
Sonigo’s relocation liaison will walk your employees through their new home and explain how to use the various appliances, alarm systems, etc. In addition, the refrigerator and cupboards will be stocked with the necessary foods and beverages to start everyone off on the right foot.
Finding the appropriate schools and kindergartens for your employees’ children is a top priority, and we treat it accordingly. Our representatives will introduce your employees to the school and kindergarten options available, advising them on the pros and cons and handling all the paperwork and bureaucracy. Needless to say, all of this will take place before your employees land and after we have visited the respective schools and kindergartens and consulted them on the possibility of their children’s arrival.
On the first day of school, Sonigo’s relocation liaison will accompany your employees and their children, and will have purchased all of the relevant school books and a few extra pencils and erasers as well!

Moving to a new country isn’t easy; the language, customs, and geography are all new. While this can be exciting, it can also prove to be frustrating at times. We recommend signing your employees and their families for a cultural adjustment seminar. Cultural adjustment seminars are held in most cities on a regular basis and are a proven efficient method to begin adapting to the local culture. Your employees and their families will learn basic language skills, as well as important local customs and information about their new society. After the seminar, everything will be much easier to comprehend and handle.
