French term

accompagnement social

French to English Bus/Financial Human Resources employee mobility
Context: company policy in assisting transferred employees and their familities. I am not sure why 'accompagnement social' is so slippery, whereas the idea is clear.

Les mutations vers les filiales du Groupe [..] en France Métropolitaine mises en oeuvre dans le cadre du plan d’accompagnement social font l'objet de dispositions spécifiques :
§ Versement des indemnités de mutation et d'installation, des aides au déménagement ainsi que des aides en cas de perte d'emploi du conjoint prévues dans le cas de la mobilité à l'intérieur de [..].
§ Versement, le cas échéant, d'un différentiel de salaire de 2 ans.
§ En cas de non-déménagement, versement de la prime de mobilité calculée selon le barème habituel.
§ Un forfait de 2 jours de congés.

employee assistance plan

I think "social support" sounds too much like counseling or a government program. I checked with a business owner I know and he said he's never seen this term used in a business context in the U.S. However, I don't know if it's used in the UK.
