Question 1

What wellbeing webinars or workshops can Expathy provide for international employees?

Accepted Answer

Expathy provides wellbeing webinars and workshops designed specifically for international employees, expats, and globally mobile teams. Topics can include burnout prevention, relocation adaptation, homesickness, loneliness, belonging, cross-cultural communication, manager support, and family or partner adjustment during relocation. Unlike generic wellbeing sessions, Expathy’s workshops focus on the emotional, cultural, and practical challenges employees face when living and working outside their home country.

Question 2

How can companies support the mental health of international employees?

Accepted Answer

Companies can support international employees by offering culturally relevant mental health support, native-language therapy access, relocation adaptation workshops, manager training, and confidential individual support options. International employees often face stressors that local employees may not experience in the same way, such as cultural adjustment, language barriers, homesickness, family pressure, and identity changes abroad. Expathy helps companies create a structured support system around these needs.

Question 3

How is Expathy different from a generic EAP?

Accepted Answer

Expathy is built specifically for expats and international employees, while many EAPs are designed for general employee wellbeing. Expathy focuses on native-language support, cultural understanding, relocation-related challenges, and therapists who understand the expat experience. For companies, this means employees are not only offered mental health support, but support that feels relevant, accessible, and easier to trust.

Question 4

Can employees receive therapy in their native language?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Native-language support is one of Expathy’s core differentiators. Many international employees find it difficult to explain emotional experiences in a second language, especially when discussing stress, burnout, family issues, loneliness, or cultural adjustment. Expathy helps employees connect with psychologists who can support them in a language and cultural context that feels more natural and understandable.

Question 5

How do company-sponsored therapy credits work?

Accepted Answer

A company can sponsor therapy credits for international employees. Employees then receive access through a company code or voucher system and can book confidential support directly with Expathy. This allows HR teams to offer meaningful mental health support without managing employees’ personal therapy details. The company supports access, while the employee keeps control over their private care journey.

Question 6

Is employee therapy confidential from HR?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Individual therapy support should remain confidential. HR can support employees by providing access, but personal therapy details should not be shared with the employer. Expathy’s company model is designed to keep the employee experience private while still giving companies a clear and professional way to offer mental health support. This helps protect employee trust and encourages people to use the support when they need it.

Question 7

Can Expathy help with relocation and the first 90 days abroad?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Relocation is not only a logistical process; it is also an emotional transition. Employees may experience stress, loneliness, homesickness, identity changes, culture shock, family pressure, or uncertainty during the first months abroad. Expathy can support companies with relocation adaptation workshops, therapy access, and guidance designed around the employee journey before relocation, during arrival, and throughout long-term adaptation.

Question 8

Can Expathy support employees’ partners or families?

Accepted Answer

Yes. International relocation often affects more than the employee. Partners, spouses, and family members may also experience loneliness, loss of routine, cultural adjustment, or difficulty building belonging in a new country. When family or partner stress increases, it can also affect the employee’s wellbeing and work performance. Expathy can include family-sensitive support as part of a broader company wellbeing approach.

Question 9

Do you offer manager training for supporting international employees?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Expathy can provide manager training to help leaders better understand the emotional and cultural challenges international employees may face. Managers often want to help but may not know how to recognize relocation stress, burnout, cultural isolation, or language-related barriers. Training can help managers respond more confidently, communicate more clearly, and guide employees toward appropriate support.

Question 10

Can Expathy help with burnout, absenteeism, and productivity risks?

Accepted Answer

Expathy is designed to help companies address the early signals behind burnout, absenteeism, disengagement, and productivity loss among international employees. Support can include burnout prevention workshops, confidential therapy access, manager training, and culturally aligned wellbeing programs. The goal is not only to react when employees are already struggling, but to create a support system that helps employees stay healthier, more connected, and better supported at work.

Question 11

Are Expathy workshops online or on-site?

Accepted Answer

Expathy can support companies through online workshops and, where suitable, on-site or hybrid formats. Online delivery is useful for international teams spread across countries, while on-site or hybrid workshops may fit larger companies, local teams, or specific events. The format can be discussed during the consultation based on the company’s locations, team size, goals, and preferred level of support.

Question 12

How can a company get started with Expathy?

Accepted Answer

Companies can start by booking a 15-minute consultation with Expathy. During the call, we discuss the number of international employees, the company’s main concerns, preferred support format, possible workshops, therapy-credit needs, and whether family or manager support should be included. After that, Expathy can recommend a support plan that fits the company’s workforce, goals, and budget direction.
