For years, comprehensive immigration reform has moved through the U.S. House and Senate in stops and starts. The new administration has signaled a more aggressive stance on immigration right out of the gate, and Congress is expected to take up comprehensive immigration reform once again. In the meantime, a great deal of uncertainty will cloud the process for companies and candidates alike.
Attracting Talent
Talent knows no borders.
You may have heard that TRC Global Mobility recently became an employee-owned company. What, exactly, does that mean if you are a TRC client or prospective client?
Empowered Employees
Employee ownership empowers employees. By giving employees the autonomy and flexibility to make judgement calls based on the customer’s needs, we streamline processes and increase customer satisfaction. Our employee-owners know that their actions affect their customers, and ultimately, the success of our company, and they take ownership of their decisions. In short, your success is their success.

Relocating abroad presents challenges, but often the most difficult part of an international assignment is returning to the home country. The sad reality is that more than 25% of international assignees leave their employer within two years of returning home.
With such a substantial investment in each international assignment, it’s wise for companies to plan for a successful re-entry from the beginning of the process. Aside from closing out the host country household and moving the family back to the home country, companies should consider potential reverse culture shock issues the assignee or family may experience as well as the employee’s career path.

MILWAUKEE, Wis. (October 18, 2016)– TRC Global Mobility, an employee talent mobility company providing services for U.S., international and government clients, announced today that it has transferred 100% ownership of the company to its employees via an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP).

Employees on international assignments typically observe the holidays of their host country location, which is sometimes a bit of a surprise for the expats. They might be American citizens working for an American company in its Paris office, but they will be celebrating not U.S. Independence Day but French Bastille Day! They usually receive the same paid time off they received at the home location, but sometimes local laws or practices dictate a different arrangement. Employees on assignment also are given allowances for at least one trip home per year. Read More

TRC Global Solutions is now TRC Global Mobility! We selected our new name to emphasize our mission and exclusive focus on U.S. and Global Relocation services.
“TRC Global Solutions suggested a more fragmented human resources services focus; a direction some of our competitors have taken but one we have consciously avoided,” said Sean Lickver, CRP, GMS, Executive Vice President. “It did not convey what TRC does and what we are all about to best advantage. TRC Global Mobility more accurately captures our mission and our exclusive focus on employee relocation and global assignment management. We chose to retain the “TRC” part of our brand, a tribute to our founding as The Relocation Center in 1987.”
