When employees take on international assignments, their families go with them—and their well-being plays a vital role in the employee’s success abroad. A smooth transition depends not just on the job, but on how supported spouses and children feel in their new environment.
That’s why leading companies invest in solutions like international expatriate insurance to protect expatriate families. Tailored plans, such as those from Mondassur, offer essential health coverage and peace of mind, helping families adapt more easily.
Supporting families through strong insurance coverage leads to better retention, higher performance, and a more successful international assignment overall.
Why family support matters for expatriates
A thriving family life lays the foundation for professional success abroad. When families feel safe, supported, and secure, employees are more focused, productive, and motivated in their roles.
However, expat families often face a unique set of challenges, including:
- Spouses feeling isolated or lacking professional opportunities.
- Children adjusting to unfamiliar education systems and cultures.
- Emotional stress, culture shock, and social disconnection.
In fact, family-related issues are among the top causes of early assignment termination a costly outcome for any business.
How Mondassur can support your organization : At Mondassur, we recognize that a successful expatriation involves the whole family. That’s why we design tailored international insurance plans that include global health coverage, multilingual support, mental health services, and assistance adapted to each family’s needs.

- Routine care and chronic conditions
