Some companies shuffle employees from one location to another on a regular basis, others do so infrequently and some never need to transfer employees at all. If your business falls into one of the first two categories it’s in your best interest to find a moving company with which you can establish corporate relocation services that fit your needs. You know that when you need to have your employees relocated it’s critical that their move is accomplished with a minimum of disruption and chaos. It can cost your business dearly if a critical worker is busy managing their move when they should be performing the work that YOU need them to do. Here is a little advice from an experienced moving consultant on what to look for from your corporate relocation services provider. At most companies it’s the human resources department that is usually saddled with the unenviable job of organizing employee relocations, but these folks are busy enough managing their regular tasks, plus they aren’t moving professionals so they may overlook critically important aspects of move management. Little mistakes or unplanned-for jobs can snowball into a big problem when multiplied by the fact that you may be relocating a number of employees and their families at the same time. If you establish a corporate relocation program with a reliable moving company you can count on receiving complete move management from start to finish. All you will be required to do is tell them who to relocate, where they need to go and when you need them at their new post. From that point you can relax, secure in the knowledge that a team of professionals will take on the responsibilities associated with achieving the relocation(s) efficiently and with a minimum of disruption to your day-to-day business. The movers will assign a moving consultant AND a moving coordinator to the job; each of these people has a specific role and tasks to fulfill. The moving consultant is generally the first point of contact with the transferring employee and they will arrange for a home visit to discuss the needs of the people being relocated and assess their shipment; discovering exactly what needs to be moved and which (if any) items will remain. They will give out some printed information that outlines the details that explain what will be happening, when it will happen and who is responsible for each task. The moving coordinator is the person responsible for ensuring that everything gets done in a timely manner and is also available at any time by e-mail or phone to answer any questions or concerns that the transferring employees may have. When you are choosing a mover to provide corporate relocation services to your company it’s smart to hire a moving company that is affiliated with one of the major van lines. Smaller, unaffiliated moving companies may find it difficult to access services outside of their normal locations if they aren’t already connected within the moving industry. A van line affiliated mover will have access to modular moving and storage services across the country and internationally. When the employee relocation(s) is completed you can expect the movers will contact your newly transferred worker(s) to ask them to complete a relocation survey. This allows for the acquisition of valuable feedback that helps the movers fine-tune their corporate relocation services. A moving company that is continually trying to improve its’ services is the one you want to hire!
