TRC Recognized as a Top 10 Relocation Service Provider by HRO Today Magazine

| May 12, 2012

Quality, Breadth of Service and Size Assessed

MILWAUKEE, Wis. (May 7, 2012)

TRC Global Mobility, Inc. (TRC), a leading relocation management company, was ranked among the top 10 relocation service providers in HRO Today magazine’s 2012 Baker’s Dozen Customer Satisfaction Ratings: Relocation.

According to HRO Today, the Baker’s Dozen rankings “…are based solely on feedback from buyers of the rated services; the ratings are not based on the opinion of the HRO Today staff.”

“With more than 50 relocation companies in the marketplace today, we’re honored that corporate professionals have ranked us among the top 10 in the industry,” said Doug Berto, TRC’s President and CEO. “We’re committed to providing the service depth and reach our clients need and the service quality they expect, and I’m gratified that we’re delivering on that promise.”

To collect data, HRO Today conducts an online survey, which it distributes to its own database and directly to the relocation service providers’ clients. Corporate HR and procurement professionals who are responsible for their companies’ relocation programs answer questions related to service breadth, deal sizes and quality. HRO Today uses a proprietary algorithm to arrive at an overall score and then ranks providers based on those scores.

Service is Back!

Casualties of a slow economy

It’s been more than a decade since most countries enjoyed robust economic growth. Since then, companies worldwide have laid off millions of employees; many continue to rein in spending wherever they can. In some instances, businesses and consumers have sought cheaper substitutes for their preferred products and services; in other cases, they have simply gone without.

Relocation services reflected this trend as HR departments were downsized and many supporters of a balanced cost/service approach were lost to attrition, layoffs and retirement. Given the significant amount spent on a service for a relatively small employee population, relocation spending — whether in-house or through relocation management companies (RMCs) — presented a tempting target for the corporate budget axe. Relocation services began to be treated like any other company purchase: a commodity that could be delivered by the lowest bidder.

Highlights From Worldwide ERC’s 2011 U.S. Mobility Survey

| March 5, 2012

What is a “traditional” family these days?

The make-up of a U.S. family has changed dramatically over the past century. The latest figures from the U.S. 2010 Census indicate that the average U.S. household consists of 2.6 people versus approximately 4.0 in 1940. Likewise, married couples with children make up only 20 percent of all U.S. households versus 40 percent in 1970. But while the look of a family may no longer be “traditional”, the balancing act facing families is unchanged, with concerns ranging from child and elder care to spouse employment.

To take a closer look at the issues affecting domestic transferees and their families, in mid-2011 Worldwide ERC surveyed nearly 150 corporate, government and military relocation experts whose organizations were responsible for transferring more than 42,000 employees within the United States during 2011. The full survey results can be found in the 2011 U.S. Mobility Survey. Here are a few highlights from the study, which was sponsored exclusively by relocation specialists , TRC Global Mobility.

Involuntary Renters, Part 3: Possible Policy Adjustments For Reluctant Renters

| February 7, 2012

In parts one and two of this blog series we discussed homeowner transferees who are able to sell their home but cannot afford to buy another one. Since so many of these “reluctant renters” have needs that go well beyond the basic renter package, companies can find themselves with numerous exceptions and the possibility of inequitable treatment and unintended precedents. To fully address the varied needs of today’s renter population, it’s worth considering several tiers of renter benefits.

For today’s reluctant renters, potential benefits could include: Read More

TRC Celebrates 25 Years of Relocation Leadership

| January 25, 2012

Complete US / International Relocation and Assignment Management Services from five service centers worldwide

Milwaukee, Wis. (January 19, 2012)

Nineteen eighty-seven. Ronald Reagan was in the White House; Madonna and George Michael were at the top of the charts; and TRC Global Mobility began operations in Milwaukee as “The Relocation Center.”

Now, in 2012, TRC is celebrating 25 years of domestic and international relocation leadership. From simple roots as a local real estate listing and homefinding service, TRC has grown into a global, full-service relocation and assignment management company that operates in more than 150 countries worldwide.

TRC’s physical footprint has expanded globally to meet the needs of current and future clients, with Operations Centers in Milwaukee, Denver and Fairfield County, Connecticut; an EMEA Center in Frankfurt; and an APAC Center in Beijing. TRC’s client base today ranges from Global 1000 companies to start-up operations, representing a gamut of products, services and government activities.

“TRC’s key differences, including independence, financial strength and stability and transparency, resonate even more today than they did 25 years ago,” said Doug Berto, TRC’s President and CEO. “We have remained totally independent from any controlling real estate, household goods or other third-party companies. That’s allowed us to hand-pick our supplier partners and to optimize service quality and value. It’s also allowed us to focus on our core relocation and assignment management business, without following the winds of a corporate parent company.”

TRC enjoyed record growth in sales and profitability in 2011, even as other relocation firms continued to contract or moved to cease operations altogether. Added Berto: “We’ve been gratified with the response to TRC’s unique value proposition and we’re looking forward to beginning the next 25 years.”

Involuntary Renters: A Growing Trend in the Domestic Relocation Industry Part 2: How To Handle Your Reluctant Renters

| January 21, 2012

Classic domestic relocation policies clearly distinguish between renters and homeowners. Renters are assumed to be younger, more junior employees, often single or married without children. Since the classic renter has no home to sell at the departure location, no home to purchase at the destination and significantly less in the way of household goods and other encumbrances, he or she typically received a modest package of benefits relative to homeowner transferees.

In part one of this series we discussed a new type of employee relocation situation: homeowners who are able to sell their home but cannot afford to buy another one. Read More
