Employer-sponsored relocations are an essential part of corporate growth, talent acquisition, and workforce mobility. A well-planned relocation ensures a smooth transition for employees and helps maintain business productivity. Without a clear plan, employees may experience 15-20 days of reduced focus, leading to a substantial decline in performance, potentially costing the business up to $10,000.
Allied Van Lines understands the importance of efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and employee satisfaction in the relocation process. We’re here to walk you through how to provide relocation support for employees, so you can eliminate distractions and keep your team focused on the workweek.
A clear and well-communicated, structured corporate relocation policy ensures a smooth transition for employees and sets expectations for both the company and the relocating individual. Key components to include:
Moving can be a financial burden for your employees, which can lead to unwanted stress during the workweek. To provide peace of mind, your relocation policy should address all costs covered by the company. Costs that may be covered include moving expenses, temporary housing, and travel costs.
You'll also want your policy to highlight the type of financial assistance you'll be offering. The three most popular types include lump sum, capped allowance, and managed support. Highlighting exactly how the financial assistance works will provide reassurance, ensuring a smooth transition. The processes for submitting and approving moving-related expenses should also be clearly outlined.
Moving assistance and support programs are valuable resources that can help alleviate stress and help your team through the planning process. Some popular moving assistance programs include spouse job search support, moving services, and home-finding resources. Depending on the size of the move, you may also offer free childcare services, temporary housing, and post-move support.
