| Time period: | December 2001 - November 2007 |
| Description: | • NewHomeTown.com (product), a seed funded online community (social network), lessened the isolation felt by most relocating employee families and helped them remain in their new hometowns longer. Initially, families asked questions (online) and received personal advice and assistance from permanent residents (small business people) who lived there about how to deal with stresses and tough issues before and during their move (esp. international). Supportive employee-family-neighbor relationships continued offline postmove.
As a result, the main cause of relocation failure (isolation) was significantly reduced. 40% of all relocations fail the first year due to the family's sense of alienation from their local community. When families made use of this online social network, fewer families returned early, saving companies billions of dollars. • Responsible for fundraising, community development and relations, hiring, business plan Etc. |
