CultureWaves

CultureWaves has been running intercultural programmes since 1999 and its trainer network brings direct experience of the cultures they cover rather than purely academic knowledge. For expats moving to Switzerland, the firm offers country-specific preparation sessions that go beyond surface-level customs tips and cover the workplace communication patterns and decision-making styles that actually cause friction in Swiss teams.

The expatriation coaching track is designed for both the assignee and their family, recognising that school-age children and accompanying partners face their own adjustment process. Sessions can be done remotely or in person, and CultureWaves covers a wide range of country pairs for those who are mid-career and have already done one or two international postings.
