Domestic Relocation Policy Trends for 2020: Best Practices for Your Mobility Policy

Jerry Funaro | December 16, 2019

u.s. relocation policyThis is a particularly dynamic time for companies that relocate employees within the U.S. Several overarching social and demographic trends are influencing the way we work, and employee expectations can vary greatly across generations, locations and industries. Similarly, company needs and competitive situations can vary widely, depending on industry, location and business strategy. A start-up company likely will have different mobility goals than an established corporation.

The term “best practices” recognizes an ongoing industry collaboration to identify ideas or solutions that increase employee and business stakeholder satisfaction while creating efficiencies. The current U.S. domestic best practices outlined in our latest eBook for global mobility professionals provide a useful starting point for developing or reviewing your own domestic relocation policy. Ultimately, your company’s best practices will be the policy elements most closely aligned with your culture and business objectives.

Help! I Need to Put Together a Domestic Relocation Package, and I Don’t Know Where to Begin! Getting Started with Employee Relocation

Jerry Funaro | November 19, 2019

employee relocationWe see it all the time: a company (often a smaller or start-up organization) reaches out to TRC because they have found the perfect employee candidate. The only problem is that the candidate lives on the other side of the country and there is no existing employee relocation program.

Fortunately, this candidate is willing to relocate, but she knows that it is expensive, and she has asked what kind of employee relocation package the company will provide. The company has never been involved with a domestic relocation before and is not quite sure what to do. She is a must-have candidate and she knows it, so she has considerable bargaining power.

Selecting Core Flex Program Benefits and Administering

Jerry Funaro | August 5, 2019

Core Flex Program BenefitsThe core relocation benefit ensures there is some level of parity and predictability among relocating employees and that all employees receive the basic benefits needed to get the transfer done. For domestic relocations, such a core flex program benefit might include: relocation counseling, home marketing assistance, rental or home finding assistance, final trip to the destination, and shipment of household goods.

Additional flexible elements that could be matched to the employee’s requirements could include: Read More

Pros & Cons of Core-Flex Relocation Programs

Jerry Funaro | July 26, 2019

Core-flex relocation programsCore-flex relocation programs build in flexibility and minimize costly exceptions, and ultimately this model can increase employee satisfaction and acceptance rates for both international relocations and domestic relocations. In addition, a carefully considered core-flex program can help companies to:

– Gain a recruiting edge

– Tailor relocation benefits more closely to employee or candidate needs

– Make employees feel more valued and invested in the process

– Empower hiring managers, business units, regional locations, etc.

– Eliminate or at least dramatically reduce exceptions

The Evolution of the Core Flex Model for Employee Relocation Programs

Jerry Funaro | July 16, 2019

core flex modelThe core-flex model has become one of today’s most talked-about employee relocation programs. As the name suggests, core-flex incorporates a defined, core relocation benefit and a flexible selection of optional benefits to supplement this core. Along with lump sum packages, core-flex programs are an increasingly popular way to add flexibility and align mobility benefits with employee needs.

Two major factors are driving the need for more agile mobility programs: the keen battle for talent in a full-employment labor market and the growing population of millennial transferees. Recruiters and hiring managers who are eager to sign the best talent need every tool at their disposal, including mobility benefits that make relocation more attractive. For their part, millennials are accustomed to an array of choices in almost every aspect of their lives. They value personal control and dislike corporate mandates.

Global Mobility Industry Disruption: One Talent Mobility Leader Shares his Management Philosophy

Jerry Funaro | June 24, 2019

global mobility industryDuring Worldwide ERC’s Americas Mobility Conference in Atlanta, WERC President & CEO Peggy Smith caught up with TRC Global Mobility’s Leo Capotorto to talk disruption, innovation and trends within the talent mobility industry.

Leo came to the US from Argentina and he brings a unique perspective to the mobility business. He points to his culture in shaping his philosophy of not making a big deal over the disruptions that will inevitably impact the industry, but instead to “go with the flow.” He emphasizes that disruption is a “good thing,” but advises that you have to adapt fast.

EU Elections Highlight Political Polarization Throughout Europe (and how this impacts global mobility)

Jerry Funaro | June 6, 2019

eu elections global mobilityThe following article was originally published on  May 30, 2019 by Worldwide ERC. View the original article. 

Voters in the 28 European Union (EU) member states went to the polls last week to elect 751 new Members of the European Parliament (MEPs). Results reveal that many traditional political parties struggled in this election and some were outperformed by both far-right populist parties and liberal green parties. The long-time center-left, center-right coalition that has been central to governing the EU for 40 years lost its majority: moving from holding 54% of seats before the vote to only 43% of seats. The newly elected EU Parliament officially takes power in July, but with the substantial number of new MEPs, it is unlikely that the Parliament will be fully up and running until this fall. Once the new Parliament begins to govern, the larger implications of these election results will be clearer. Read More

UK Parliament Votes to Delay Brexit: How this Impacts Global Mobility

TRC Global Mobility | March 18, 2019

This article was originally published on Worldwide ERC:

BrexitFollowing a series of votes this week on Brexit, the United Kingdom (UK) House of Commons ultimately voted last night in support of seeking a delay of the withdrawal of the UK from the European Union (EU). Brexit is scheduled to occur on March 29 but would be pushed back to June 30 under the adopted proposal.

All twenty-seven members of the European Council will need to sign off on approving the delay when they meet on March 21. Prior to the vote, Council President Donald Tusk indicated his support for a delay. However, other EU officials have stated in the past that Brexit should only be delayed to provide time for a vote on a second referendum or a UK special election. Read More

New Mercer Study: What Will Attract Talented Workers to the World’s Emerging Megacities—and What Will Keep Them There?

TRC Global Mobility | January 4, 2019

emerging megacities mercer studyAccording to a new Mercer study, People First: Driving Growth in Emerging Megacities, 47% of GDP growth between 2010-2025 will come from 443 growth economy cities worldwide. The underlying research question was what will attract the most talented workers to these growing cities—and what will make them stay?

Mercer surveyed 7,200 people in 15 cities and seven countries, asking them what is most important to them in the place they live and work. The results help us to understand what motivates people to stay in or move to a particular city—something of material importance to employers that are competing for talent. Read More

A More Balanced Real Estate Market in 2019?

TRC Global Mobility | December 13, 2018

While all real estate markets are local, recent data suggests that even the hottest US sellers’ markets are beginning to cool down. For companies that relocate employees, that should be mostly good news as we look at the real estate market in 2019.

“The signs are pointing to a market that’s shifting toward buyers,” says Danielle Hale, chief economist of realtor.com®. “But in most places, we’re still a long way from a full reversal.”

The real estate market has more than recovered from the 2008 economic crisis, and some coastal cities seemed to be entering bubble territory. The median home price in Manhattan rose from $400,000 in 2000 to $1.29m this year. During the same period, the median in San Francisco increased from $415,000 to $1.35m. Part of this growth is driven by booming local economies and constraints on new housing construction—particularly of the more affordable variety. Read More
