Question 1

What is a settlement risk audit?

Accepted Answer

It's a short diagnostic that looks at how well your sponsored or relocated employees are settling outside of work: their support networks, their families' situations, and whether anyone in your organisation actually knows how they're doing. It takes about 2 minutes and gives you a Low, Moderate, or High risk score with next steps.

Question 2

Why do sponsored or relocated employees leave their jobs?

Accepted Answer

Compliance paperwork rarely causes attrition. What causes it is an isolated spouse, no local community, nobody checking in on life outside work, and personal visa milestones nobody is tracking. These pressures build quietly and are usually invisible until the employee is already job hunting.

Question 3

What's the difference between visa compliance and settlement support?

Accepted Answer

Visa compliance is about meeting Home Office reporting duties so the sponsorship stays valid. Settlement support is about the employee's actual life: housing, family, community, and wellbeing. An organisation can be fully compliant on paper while the person behind the visa is quietly struggling and planning to leave.

Question 4

How is this different from a standard onboarding checklist?

Accepted Answer

An onboarding checklist is usually a one-time, task-based list completed in the first weeks: desk setup, IT access, contract signed. This audit looks at ongoing settlement, weeks or months into the role, and focuses on relationships and wellbeing signals a checklist doesn't capture.

Question 5

Is this free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The audit and your risk score are free, with no obligation to buy anything afterwards.
