Benefits of employing a relocation company

In today's globalized world, closing skills gaps quickly may be crucial for a company’s survival. The need to relocate employees or entire teams to new locations has become an important aspect of strategic workforce management and expansion.

However, relocation is a complex and time-consuming process. Therefore, many companies opt for corporate relocation services to ensure a smooth and successful transition.

In this article, we’ll explore the benefits that these services offer to businesses.

Cost Control

The costs of bringing a professional from another country are immense. The cost of a failed assignment is even higher. With relocation services, your employees will be able to give 100% full time, since they will not be exposed to the stress of a new life, thus increasing the profitability of the contracting company.

Controlling the logistics around the move can help clients minimize relocation costs. For instance, coordinating the arrival of household goods with the readiness of an employee's new home reduces storage and temporary housing expenses. Additionally, obtaining the correct work permits on time ensures the employee can start as scheduled.

Time control

Welcoming talent from abroad in a good way is time-consuming and requires thorough planning and experience. Just as it takes a village to raise a child, welcoming a new employee requires many partners.

A relocation company has the staff, partnerships, logistics and technology to ensure that employees have a smooth and positive experience throughout the entire relocation process.

By outsourcing this task to relocation experts, companies can focus on their core business functions, strategic goals and on growing their business.

Risk control

Staying compliant in all the markets a company operates in is not an easy task. Securing visas and local permits is therefore a major concern in the relocation process. With the help of a relocation company, HR professionals and relocating employees can be assured that the company and its employees comply with local laws. There’s no risk of skipping essential steps or missing submission dates and appointments that can jeopardize the newly hired professional and harm the company's reputation.

Increased Employee Productivity

Relocation is not about moving boxes. It’s about people uprooting their lives and embarking on one of their biggest journeys in life. It can be incredibly stressful if not handle properly.

Working with a professional relocation company allows employees to transition smoothly to their new locations. It can foster a positive employee experience, reduce stress, and enhance productivity. Your employees can focus on their new job and have less ‘downtime’ away.

Ongoing support

Expatriate failure often results from insufficient practical support in the host country and/or a disconnection from the home environment. Even when all the “practical stuff” is taken care of, cultural differences often make it hard to adapt to the new home country, especially for accompanying family members and partners. Therefore, it is crucial that relocation support does not end as soon as the employee has arrived at their new destination. A relocation company can provide this support with ongoing partner career counseling, language, and intercultural training. Ongoing support safeguards your talent investment.

Summary

Whether relocating an individual employee or an entire team, choosing to partner with a professional corporate relocation provider is a strategic decision that brings long-term benefits to both employees and the company.
