Relocation Knowledge Center

Employee relocation activity is expected to increase in both volume and budgets, especially for larger companies, due to several factors including the loss of skilled workers as Baby Boomers retire and the cooling of the housing market. As the need to relocate employees increases, companies must consider the related costs, benefits, concerns and alternatives, such as:

• The relocation of businesses and departments
• Family relocation issues
• Temporary relocation
• The decision to outsource relocation
• Expatriate issues with overseas assignments

New Global Talent & Mobility Research Available

Employees are assigned to overseas positions for a variety of reasons, and 9 of 10 companies expect to maintain or increase international assignments in the near future. Increasingly, these companies are using global relocation to develop future leaders and for other strategic purposes. Larry Looker, Manager of Global Leadership Development at i4cp member company Amway, says that his organization increasingly views international assignments as targeted learning experiences and as strategic opportunities to gain global experience and to fill specific, short-term needs. Full findings and analysis are available to corporate members.
