Transatlantic Transition Advisory (TTA)
Specializing in the healthcare, pharmaceutical, and life sciences industries
Ensure Your US-Based Employees' Successful Transition to the UK
We support the healthcare, pharmaceutical, and life sciences industries with relocating US-based employees. Through structured, high-touch advisory programs, we help individuals and their families adapt to living and working in the UK—supporting successful assignments, sustained performance, and long-term retention..
Relocation Success Is About More Than Logistics
Even with strong relocation vendors in place, international assignments can falter when employees or their partners struggle with cultural, professional, or lifestyle adjustment.
Common challenges include:
- Unspoken differences in US vs UK workplace communication and decision-making
- Navigating global matrix structures and UK-based leadership expectations
- Partner dissatisfaction, loss of professional identity, or social isolation
- Difficulty settling into everyday systems that affect overall wellbeing
- Misaligned expectations that impact engagement and performance
These issues are rarely addressed directly—yet they are often decisive in whether an assignment succeeds.
