Guided Destination Services
Our Guided (unaccompanied) Services offer Assignees the flexibility to go to appointments on their own time while being fully supported by experienced and knowledgeable Destination Consultants. By assigning a local Consultant to work “behind the scenes” to advise, guide and advocate for Assignees and their families. IOR’s Guided Services allow our Assignees to receive the same tailored support as traditional Destination Services while providing more flexibility, all without sacrificing quality. Assignees receive an invitation to IOR’s proprietary DS App, featuring IOR City Guide, Rental Market Guide, Tips and Advice, and more.
