How Corporate Relocation Services Help Your Staff


by John McLean

With the expansion of the global economy and more businesses competing for the international market, corporate relocation is becoming commonplace profit-making strategy. Major corporations have branched their products and services throughout the world and in places located in the southern portions of England, Kent being one that stands out. Companies may also relocate to various parts of the UK – that’s easier, as it’s within the same country, but there is still an awful lot to be considered in any such move. That’s why corporate relocation services can become an invaluable help to you.

Corporate relocation services offer a wide range of national and international move packages to accommodate practically every relocation need. For example, some corporate relocation services will assist your company in the acquisition of and office and/or building space. These corporate relocation services have extensive experience in the negotiation processes of purchase agreements throughout the United Kingdom and the rest of the world.

Another concern for many corporations considering an international move is the issue of re-establishing their IT systems in the new location. Many corporate relocation services will provide IT managers to assist your company in establishing its IT network. These technicians are highly skilled in the packing, unpacking and reconnection of your information systems and are generally assigned exclusively to your company until your transition is complete. That way there are no competing needs and everything can be tailored towards your deadline. If there are any problems or difficulties, staff can be on hand to deal with them quickly and efficiently.

Anytime a company makes an international move they will need to consider hiring new employees from the community to which they are moving into. Some corporate relocation companies have specialized departments just for this purpose. The staff members of these departments are skilled employment recruiters and will be able to advertise available positions, interview potential candidates, and make referrals to the human resource personnel of your company.

Of course, often when a company relocates some of the key staff and personnel must move with the company. When this happens it becomes necessary for the company to consider not only the transporting of these individuals, but also their housing needs must be addressed. Corporate relocation services can help with this concern by locating and establishing temporary or permanent housing arrangements for all of your personnel. They will also coordinate the packing and storage of household goods from the departure point, and the unpacking at your destination.

Schooling for children of employees can be another consideration for top management to address when making the preparations for a corporate relocation. Addressing family needs and related issues can help retain quality employees who might otherwise be undecided about making such a major change in their lives. You may be pleasantly surprised to learn that corporate relocation services can be of tremendous assistance in this area. Some relocation firms will assign staff members to your transition specifically to ensure a smooth transition for your employees and their families, to include locating schools for the children of your employees.

Sometimes when a business moves any number of employees to a new location, especially if that move entails relocating to a foreign land, the employees of that company will need some education and training about the people and culture of the area to which the company is moving to. Many international corporate relocation companies provide programs and training workshops just for this purpose. They can teach your employees some of the basic language, introduce the types of currency used, and provide history and cultural information about the area to which your company is moving.
