You may have seen our previous post "What is a group move?" that gave a brief overview of corporate group moves. What we hope to do achieve in this post is to give you an idea of how to administer a group move and some of the areas you should consider. Needless to say, group moves should always be administered in conjunction with a specialist relocation management company to ensure that the correct advice and support is provided every step of the way.
So what exactly is employee relocation and global mobility?
It always surprises me just how many people I meet that have never even heard of employee relocation, let alone administered or benefited from it. Misunderstandings are common. A recent interlocutor thought it was about moving employees to a new work site from one that was closing down. To a degree, he was right, but that's only part of the picture. And when I start talking about global mobility, people look at me, slightly puzzled, and say, "What, mobility scooters?" For the avoidance of doubt, we don't do mobility scooters. Let's have a quick look and find out what it's all about.
