“We’re asking you to relocate.”
MOVING TOWARD SUCCESS
An Employee-Centered Relocation Strategy
“We’re asking you to relocate.”
Few conversations fill a conference room with more
anxious energy.
You’re certain this is the exact right candidate to move your
company forward, but certain is the last word she’d choose.
And moving boxes are the least of her concerns.
To successfully fill critical roles and transition your valuable
team members to new assignments, it’s essential to take
an employee-centered approach—recruiting him/her to
the new role, assessing and addressing specific relocation
challenges and making intentional career and development
plans with an eye toward retention.
Ensure Relocation Success
with Relocation Support
Our priority is a happy, productive employee, and we
understand that’s going to require more than just selling
the house and arranging a moving van. Our programs
proactively identify and address critical relocation
challenges to ensure employees and their families
experience a successful transition.

RECRUIT
Your first step is to help your candidate
see the value in relocating. Our Relocation
Decision Assistance ensures that your
employee is prepared to say “yes” to a
successful move.
RELOCATE
When your first-choice candidate accepts
your offer, it’s time to design a relocation
strategy that addresses both employee and
family needs.
RETAIN
Create a plan to quickly integrate new
leaders and retain employees after a
relocation to show your commitment to
your talent and protect your company’s
investment in their success.
RECRUIT
Empower Your Top
Candidate to Say “Yes!”
The moment you say the word relocate, your first-choice candidate
will likely hesitate for 3 reasons:
1. He’s not sure he’ll be successful in the new assignment.
2. She’s worried about her spouse/partner’s career.
3. He’s pretty sure his family’s going to be miserable.
Without question, these are legitimate concerns.
Beginning with a confidential, comprehensive assessment, our
Relocation Decision Assistance identifies potential obstacles for
the employee and family. Our team then conducts personalized
research to help them make an informed decision, with a oneon-one coach available throughout the process.
Relocation Decision Assistance
• Improves acceptance rates from 50% to 85%.
• Guides first-choice candidates to make confident and
informed decisions.
• Saves time by reducing research burdens for the employee.
• Reduces barriers to a successful relocation.
“In a recent group move, we offered our
candidates Relocation Decision Assistance,
which increased our acceptance rate to 90%.”

RELOCATE
Happy Family = Productive Employee
The emotional ups and downs of a move and the overwhelming
“to do” lists often reach beyond the household walls and hinder
your employee’s performance at work.
Our Employee and Family Integration Assistance
significantly decreases stress, allowing your employee to engage
in his new work role as he and his family embrace their new
community.
Our one-on-one coaches, all of whom have personal experience
with relocation, are individually matched to your employee and
family based on location and needs. The coach becomes the
keeper of the to-dos and works with our research team to address
all of the necessary requirements for your employee to feel at
home again. The dedicated coach will help your employee identify
medical providers, choose schools, discover community groups
and more.
Single employees, who typically manage relocation
responsibilities alone, find our coaches to be particularly helpful.
With approximately 30% of single employees relocating with a
dependent, our coaches offer invaluable personal and emotional
support.
“Our coach knows exactly when to call and what
to ask; it seems as if she anticipates our needs!
We are thankful for her and all the information
she has provided! We know we can count on her
to help us and answer any questions we have
about the area.” - Relocation All Star

Proven Coaching Process
RETAIN
Whether adding a new member to your management team or
promoting an employee after an international assignment,
you need a strategic plan to integrate, motivate and retain
your stellar talent at the start of their new position. Coaching
maximizes your investment in the employee and your company.
Career Management Done Right
For a global relocation, you’ve invested significant time, energy
and resources into highly skilled employees. Repatriation
support decreases the risk of turnover, providing retention
strategies for your critical global talent.
The Repatriation Career Management Program begins
when the relocation does. From the start, your employee and
her one-on-one senior career coach identify key stakeholders
within your organization. Then, they develop an action plan to
keep the employee connected.
During the final six months of her assignment, the employee
works with her coach to implement the plan and develop a
presentation of her accomplishments during the assignment
– ultimately displaying how her new skills and knowledge will
fuel her next position at your organization.
Gain Positive Momentum
Starting a job in a new location requires more than an
onboarding process. Effectively prepare your employee to
understand his management style, engage his new team, learn
the nuances of the new location and implement an action plan.
From the moment your employee accepts the relocation offer,
our High IMPACT Start program provides him with the support
and knowledge of a career coach, significantly decreasing
ramp-up time and increasing productivity.
