📌 Why Do Companies Have a Written Relocation Policy?

The top five reasons companies have a written relocation policy are:

⚖️ Liability

Having a written policy documents the company’s program and acts as evidence to protect the company in the event of lawsuits.

📄 Set Expectations

A written relocation policy sets expectations for the employee and clarifies what benefits the company is and is not offering. Clear expectations greatly reduce the likelihood of relocation failure.

🧭 Streamlines the Process

A written policy streamlines the process by providing employees and providers with clear guidelines to follow during relocation.

💸 Control Costs

Documenting which services and benefits are covered controls costs for the employee, employer, and service providers.

🧲 Recruitment & Retention

Written relocation policies support recruitment and retention by clearly conveying to talent the benefits offered.

🧠 What is Employee Relocation?

Below are key questions we ask clients when creating or updating a relocation policy:

💰 What is the company’s budget?
