How SIRVA Can Assist With Group Moves

Tuesday, September 30, 2008 by SIRVA Relopinion


If you have a group move to manage and are seeking assistance, SIRVA Relocation is able to provide the following services:

Defining Objectives
SIRVA works closely with your Company’s management team to define the overall objectives of the move and ensure their implementation during the move process. As a part of our consultation, we will discuss the Company’s business and human resources goals and objectives, policy issues, the group move timeline, and factors to consider in the cost analysis and process development.

Relocation Cost Analysis
We provide expertise in analyzing the total cost of a group move by detailing the cost impact of policy decisions and local market conditions on both the Company and the employee.

Policy Design
SIRVA can incorporate your business objectives into an appropriate group move policy. A key component of policy design is the solicitation, review and analysis of your employees’ input via the employee survey that we will design to meet the needs of your employee population and the constraints your management has placed on the process. This information, along with policy and benefit guidelines, will result in a Group Move Policy Handbook detailing the corporate relocation program for your employees.

Employee Presentations
We have the depth of experience to assist the Company in securing the employee’s enthusiastic commitment to the move through a carefully planned and professionally presented program for the entire family. This program includes a complete overview of the new destination city and state, plus the ability for employees to ask questions and address concerns about the move. In short, we bring the experts in each resource area to the transferee.

Relocation Resource Center
SIRVA can prepare an on-site, on-going “Relocation Resource Center” for employees and their families, which provides information about the destination city’s schools, housing options, medical facilities, etc.

Information Kit
Each employee will receive a complete package of information about the destination city including, if appropriate, a video about the city. Employees will be assigned a personal relocation counselor who is available to answer questions, research any specific needs they or their family members may have, and arrange for individual home finding trips to the new city (if included in the plan).

Area Tours
SIRVA can organize area tours guaranteed to satisfy your employees’ questions about their new city.
