At Jimble, we believe asking the right questions will result in a greater understanding, better communication, and trust. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions from businesses and individuals going through a relocation process.
What is Employee Relocation?
Employee relocation, also known as global mobility, serves to transfer candidates, their families, or entire departments of an organisation to a new location. Relocation in this case is classified as an employee benefit, a function that’s usually administered by the organization’s HR department, with much of the hands-on support outsourced to a relocation management company or a destination service provider.
What does an international employee relocation consist of?
This is where HR departments can find it useful to outsource their programmes to a relocation management company or destination service provider that has local, on-the-ground knowledge and experience to support the employee through the relocation maze.
Some standard elements to be considered for an international relocation package or policy are:
- Immigration
- Temporary accommodation
- Area information guides
- Orientation
- Home Search
- School Search
- Furniture & Appliance Rental
- Moving
- Tenancy Management
- Travel Management
- Expense Management
- Cultural Training
- Language Training
- Departure Services
- Integration
Should my company offer relocation packages?
Relocation packages are valuable recruitment tools. As a company, you want to be known as a place that values great employees and as an employer that takes care of its talent and pays for performance, as opposed to attracting entitled workers looking to take advantage of your benefits. Like most things in talent recruitment, there are no easy answers. It comes down to your company’s needs and image. When building relocation packages, always assess the risks and costs, weigh the pros and cons, and be flexible.
