FIBEP Work & Travel Program

Strengthening our network through people

Collaboration grows stronger when people connect beyond screens.

FIBEP Work & Travel is a new initiative designed to encourage knowledge sharing, cross-cultural understanding, and genuine human connection among member organizations of our association.

The idea is simple: one or more employees from a member company spend a period working from the offices of another member organization abroad.

The host company provides a workspace and a welcoming environment, while the visiting professional continues to perform their regular work remotely — just from a different location and a new perspective.

This workation exchange offers a unique opportunity for cross-border collaboration, professional growth, and personal enrichment.

It helps build trust, stimulate innovation, and strengthen the human ties that sustain our global community.

Benefits for participating employees

Employees gain valuable professional and cultural enrichment by being exposed to a different perspective that enhance adaptability, creativity, and cross-cultural understanding. Working alongside international colleagues helps them build lasting professional relationships and discover new opportunities for collaboration. Being selected for such an exchange also increases motivation and engagement, as it signals trust and recognition from their organization. The experience of working abroad offers personal growth and renewed inspiration, while its flexibility and global dimension make it especially appealing to younger generations.

Benefits for sending companies

Organizations that send participants benefit from employees returning with fresh insights and best practices that strengthen the whole team. Offering this kind of opportunity boosts loyalty and reinforces the company’s image as an innovative, people-centered employer. The exchange promotes knowledge transfer and encourages a culture of innovation, while benchmarking with the host organization helps identify new ideas and process improvements.

Benefits for hosting companies

Host organizations gain new perspectives from visiting professionals whose diverse experiences stimulate creativity and curiosity within the team. Hosting fosters internal motivation and a spirit of openness, while also enhancing the company’s visibility and reputation as an active, collaborative member of the global network. Over time, these exchanges help build strong partnerships and may lead to future joint projects and strategic cooperation.
