No one takes better care of your greatest assets. Our unique boutique approach gives every relocating employee a seamless and efficient relocation. From the initial contact and ongoing communications to the final days of unpacking their household goods, our Relocation Services division stands beside your employees, serving as the single point of coordination throughout their entire move. We understand the art of extraordinary service — and we provide that service to each one of your valuable employees. Our Relocation Services staff schedules a conference call with each transferee and their spouse/partner, if applicable and desired by transferee, to go over the policy in detail. It is a great opportunity to “meet” the transferee and their spouse/partner to discuss any questions or concerns the family may have surrounding the benefits contained in the policy. The entire family is relocating, not just the transferee. Our services range from assisting the transferee with selling their home to arranging for the transport of furry family members to their new home to finding a contractor to set up the family’s basketball court. If the transferee has a question, we find an answer!
