Your Employee Relocation Team

Employee relocation refers to the process in which a company moves certain workers to a new location, which can be either domestic or international for work. Perhaps the company recently built a new office and needs just the right team in that location, or maybe an already established location requires the skill sets and knowledge of the employees being relocated. As part of the process, the company will cover specified costs to make it more likely that the selected employees will accept their new position without having to worry about how to pay for the transition.

Once decisions about who should be moved where and why are complete, the company needs to develop a relocation plan, including how and when they will get there and what employee expenses the company will pay for. The employer must then communicate the details to the affected employees.

The company may develop the plan themselves and then hire an international or domestic employee relocation company to manage the process, or they may choose the relocation company first and work alongside them to create a customized relocation plan from the start.

The range of relocation particulars—and, therefore, the spectrum of costs—is so wide that citing an average may not be helpful. The costs for a relocation to a neighboring state or one for a company with a tight budget can be significantly different from ones offered for relocations that involve cross-country or international moves and ones involving companies that provide generous relocation packages. Companies in especially competitive industries like finance or tech may offer especially larger benefits to satisfy and retain key employees.

What’s more useful of a benchmark for companies is what is standard or at least common in their industries, particularly what’s offered by their competitors. It’s important to try not to lose stellar employees during this process, and competitive packages can help to minimize this from happening.

At the heart of a typical package are costs associated with transporting belongings. So, relocation packages typically include packing and unpacking services along with loading, transporting, and unloading services. Assistance with housing expenses serves as another core benefit included in many relocation packages. This can involve help with selling a current home, a visit to the new city for house hunting purposes, and temporary housing for any gaps in the process. A company may offer to pay for airline flight tickets or to reimburse gasoline expenses for employees that drive to their new location. Yet another service often covered: temporary storage for belongings.

If an employee needs assistance in areas not covered in the package, they can negotiate that with their employer. This can include support for family members who will move with them or in other areas that matter to the employee.

An employee relocation firm works alongside a company relocating employees to streamline the process in efficient and cost effective ways. The best ones offer comprehensive high level support, such as keeping the company in compliance throughout the move while leveraging best practices from start to finish. Quality employee relocation service firms also provide personalized attention to each of the employees who are relocating to provide them with a smooth, low-stress move.
