The Welcome Club for newcomers To welcome new collaborators of Le Havre companies

Run by Le Havre Développement, in collaboration with the Le Havre Tourist Office and the AVF (Welcome to French Towns) association, the Welcome Club provides its member companies with a unique service of assistance to ensure successful installation and integration of French and foreign staff newly arrived in the Le Havre region.

Since its creation in 1999, the Club has gained sound experience in its support missions.

Before they begin the process of moving house, the Club gives the relocated staff thorough and personalized information about the advantages of the region: tourism, leisure, culture, communication, etc. Even before their arrival, the employees already have all the keys which will enable them to benefit from all the advantages of Le Havre quality of life.

The Welcome Club will then provide help to the newcomers as far as the main practical tasks are concerned:

	Personalized search for accommodation,
	Help with children's schooling,
	Job-seeking assistance for husbands/wives.

To do this, the Club works in close collaboration with local networks of companies, real estate agents and institutional organizations and arranges periodic welcome and information meetings intended for new Le Havre inhabitants.

Joining the Welcome Club is free and reserved for the Le Havre region companies.

Implementation of a welcome unit dedicated to the setting-up of your company To assist you in settling in your relocated teams

In the case of a large scale set-up, requiring the relocation of a whole team to Le Havre, a specialized welcome unit, efficient and responsive, will be rapidly implemented.

This unit will ensure that these same steps implemented by the Welcome Club - giving information, practical support and following-up of the employees - will be retraced in order to ensure the same quality of service in relation to your project.

Addressing "everybody in particular", it will pay attention to the problems of each of your employees and will turn your setting-up into a human success as well as a commercial one.

Many companies have already placed their confidence in us, like Delmas which entrusted us the delicate mission of assisting the arrival of some 300 employees when it relocated its Paris region head office to Le Havre. Today, the shipowner congratulates itself on its choice.
