Martine, Switch Up Ambassador for 4 years!

Box com

The Switch Up team relies on a community of Ambassadors to carry out its mission: to make the territories more welcoming for newcomers.

Like Martine, welcome newcomers to your city and help them settle in by offering your services to assist them in their professional geographic mobility.

Martine Luriot, our super ambassador in Nantes!

Martine Luriot joined the Switch Up adventure 4 years ago . In the last few years, she has had the opportunity to welcome and accompany about twenty newcomers from Nantes.

Do you want to settle in the West and more precisely in the Nantes region? Do not hesitate to contact Martine who will be able to offer you solutions for housing, schooling, administrative procedures, social integration, employment of your spouse...

In a few lines, Martine shares with us her last accompaniment in Nantes

Delphine, the employee in mobility accompanied by Martine

Delphine, like many, had the project of leaving to leave the Paris region to settle in Nantes . Having parents in Brittany motivated her choice in order to be closer to her family.

He found a job in a nice start-up in Nantes, it was now time to think about moving with his family 2 young children and a spouse. Her employer suggested Switch Up's services .

The discovery of the need

It is with great pleasure that I realized this accompaniment, a good feeling was immediately established between us.

First of all, we identified the needs by integrating the spouse in the process: a house in a very sought-after neighborhood, Procé, as one of their children was enrolled in school in this area.

Not easy at all because there are very few houses in this very popular area. So we are also looking at apartments and expanding the geographical area.

Searching for a home in an area valued

Numerous calls, a few visits that did not yield anything, when one fine day a beautiful house in the Procé district appeared on an ad. I called the agency as soon as it opened, without success.

However, knowing a consultant in this agency, I managed to reach her and we participated in extremis in the day of visits. I was on site, Victoire and her husband were on video. The file was handed over at once, along with a letter of motivation for the owner.

A positive response!

After several days of waiting, the answer is positive . It is joyful because it is exactly what the family dreamed of. It is now a question of to welcome them in our beautiful city, and to give them the instructions to quickly get used to it .

This family has since settled down and integrated well: a great happiness for them but also for me. A nice link was created and I remain their referent in Nantes .

Au revoir, Paris: The 5 big questions to ask yourself before changing cities.

Marie Juthier

Marie, 42 years old, Switch Up ambassadorambassador, tells us why she and her husband, well established professionally, made the choice to leave Paris with their three children. And why the choice of destination was not so simple, not to mention certain prejudices coming from the people around them... She will tell us about her experience and the different questions to ask before moving to another city.

The main questions to ask yourself before moving to another city

I have beenlivingin Paris for about fifteen years and it was clear that our life was no longer satisfying us.

Our flat had become too small for our growing family, and we no longer wanted to endure the traffic jams, the aggressiveness, the stress, the pollution... the difficulty of getting out of Paris, even if only for a day or a weekend.

As much as we loved our city, it became urgent to move to improve our quality of life and regain our family balance.

Our criteria for making this change

The most important thing is that we needed space in our home: a bedroom for each child and an office for us parents (who are independent and therefore often work from home). We also wanted a less urban area, and a garden, why not? Having the possibility of going away for the weekend easily is a real plus. A healthy environment for the children, shops and schools nearby so that we don't have to use the car every time we travel, were also important criteria.

Also to fit in with our professional lives, the accommodation had to be within reasonable distance of Paris. After all, we would still have regular obligations there. With these criteria, obviously the perfect solution did not exist.

In accepting the compromises, 2 main options seemed to emerge...

1

Moving away from the centre of Paris but staying in the Paris region This was a way to gain in quality of life. But, while not changing too much our habits of Parisian life to which we were attached (professional environment, cultural outings, friends...)

2

Moving to the provinces It was a fresh start, with a better chance of meeting all our criteria. In addition, we were certain of gaining more space for a smaller budget. The only constraint was that we had to stay within reasonable distance of Paris...

The province often came up in our discussions. But, apart from the radical change of life, we were also sensitive to the critical view of our social circle and friends on this choice. For many people, leaving Paris meant leaving to bury themselves. "You're crazy, leaving Paris, but what's the big idea?", "And what are you going to do about the job?

We therefore had to overcome these preconceived ideas, which are nevertheless very present in the collective unconscious (or conscious?) of Paris. The exchange between us, weighing the pros and cons, was a very important step. Making lists, naming our deepest desires while remaining objective about the consequences, especially professional ones.

Before changing your life, the 5 big questions to ask yourself:

Is my desire an escape or a life project?
Identify my needs! What kind of lifestyle do I want to have?
What are the limits to life change?
Does my partner have the same desires as me? What do the children think?
Am I ready to live away from my loved ones?

In the end, the balance tipped in favour of the province. In the end, we listened to ourselves: we wanted to make a real change and and give a new impetus to our lives ! After reflection, Rennes came out on top in our choice, notably for its optimal geographical location: 1 hour and 25 minutes from Paris thanks to the LGV and "only" 50 minutes from the sea!

Why choose Rennes?

1

Pleasant city, young, relaxed atmosphere.

2

Optimal geographical position.

2

The labour market is dynamic.

A few months later, it was on!

Today, we are very well settled in Rennes, integrated, and do not regret our choice at all, thanks to a new family and professional balance. We are proud to have had the courage to change our habits to meet our desires and essential needs.

Long live mobility!

How to become a super ambassador?

Switch Up's vision is ambitious: to make geographical mobility an asset, in the service of employment and the attractiveness of territories.

To achieve this, beyond the geographical network created by the presence of our Ambassadors, it is essential to establish a real proximity between them, our client companies, our users and the Switch Up team. In this way, we will establish win-win relationships.

This proximity is established, among other things, thanks to our Super Ambassadors. But what are their different missions and roles with newcomers?

♦ Create and lead your team of ambassadors

Many people want to welcome newcomers to their town. But to join the Switch Up adventure, you need to gather a number of skills. As a Super Ambassador you can talk to potential ambassadors in your area. You will be able to give them the necessary explanations and, if you deem them suitable, integrate them into your team.

Creating and leading a team of Ambassadors is one of the main missions of our Super Ambassadors.

♦ Ensure the smooth running of the missions and train the ambassadors

At Switch Up, our Ambassadors have access to our Welcome Academy. This is a real training base to welcome and facilitate the geographical mobility of our users.

Our Super Ambassadors ensure that their teams are trained via our e-learning tool but also locally in person. Being the first line of support for their teams to ensure that their missions run smoothly is essential. On the other hand, proposing and co-constructing training courses is the second mission of our Super Ambassadors.

Did you know that Switch Up has more than 250 ambassadors throughout France?

♦ Remuneration and satisfaction

Because the success of your team's Ambassadors must also be the success of the Super Ambassadors, we have set up a remuneration system. This is based on the satisfaction of our Users.

Newcomer satisfaction is at the heart of our approach and is part of the objectives of the whole team: Ambassador, Super Ambassador and Support Team.
