As the millennial takeover of the workplace population continues at a rapid pace, your corporate policies need to be updated to reflect the changing expectations of this new generation of employees. For many offices, the first round of millennials caused a fair bit of shock and culture clashing between the various generations in the office. Those initial sparks should be dying down, as employees have had time to settle in and you have had plenty of time to update policies to address the changes.

For your company to thrive, you need the right talent in the right locations.

However, relocating can be stressful for employees and their families and, if not managed carefully, can impact your company’s bottom line. This is why it’s important to be prepared for possible issues that may arise.

Internship season.ah, one of the great perils of HR and Recruiting Departments both domestically and internationally. Truthfully, our internship process is probably something that keeps many of us up at night. While they're very beneficial to companies and are extremely important to growing students looking to gain experience in their field, internship programs take a lot of work.

The early stages of a relocation program are a lot like the first steps in a relocation. The first piece of information our Relocation Consultants ask for is where a person lives now, and where their destination city is. In the same way, you have to know where you’re starting from in order to get where you’re going. Relocation Policy Relocation HR

Millennials sometimes get a bad rap, and they don’t necessarily deserve it. There are some obvious differences when you compare the younger people entering the workforce to the previous generations. Technology has improved, information spreads faster than ever, and values are changing. Younger employees have been shaped by modern times, and this affects their work style. Instead of writing off Millennials, try changing the way you motivate them.

Manually managing a relocation program used to require the time and money that lean, mean small businesses can’t afford to spend.

The new generation of Millennials is on the minds of everyone: employers, marketers, researchers, and economists. This incredibly diverse and vast generation of Americans born between the 1980s and mid-2000s today represents a third of the US population. While we grapple with how to best manage this generation of our workforce and what they want (or don't want) in their professional careers, one of the best things we can do is educate ourselves on what has shaped them into the way that they are.

Preparing to relocate is a lot more than a list of tasks. It’s a complex web where each decision can affect a handful of other decisions, and feels more like trying to spin plates while surfing. It’s easy for an issue to get put on the backburner or worse, forgotten. The last thing you want is to have a transferee flapping in the wind in a new city, and in the dark as to how solve this problem they didn’t even know they had until it was too late.

How often do you find yourself working within the constraints of a pre-approved budget? The truth is, unless you're Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg, you probably resonate with this pretty strongly. No matter which industry you're in, you likely at one point or another have had to bring your internal spend up to your C-Suite (or even to your Board) and explain where each chunk of change is going.

A poor relocation can sour an employee’s relationship with a company, but a poor settlement afterwards can end the relationship completely. Moving to a new area is daunting. The time and mental energy required to learn new routes, meet new people, and understand the cultural quirks of a new city all pile up quickly. On top top of that, employees feel the strain of learning a new position and team of coworkers. Now, imagine that the employee has relocated to a new country.

It’s typically a good sign when your company is facing a hiring boom. For an HR department, this means a lot of extra legwork, coffee, and ibuprofen. Scaling operations is a challenge for any part of a business, and can make or break a company’s future success. In HR, that means being able to consistently recruit and hire top talent at a high volume, and in some cases, relocate them at an equally high rate. And when you put the pedal to the metal, that’s when mistakes happen.
