Getting Everything You Need from a Global Relocation Company

Sunday, July 3rd, 2011

The International Relocation Company that you choose will be a vital resource in the transition to your new home and should therefore regard you as importantly as you regard them. They should be determined to build a close relationship with you. An essential part of this close and trusted relationship is the provision of an experienced, friendly, and trusted move coordinator (or equivalent) by the company in question. The move coordinator is your main point of contact for any questions, comments, or concerns regarding your move throughout the relocation process. The Move coordinator should do all they can to provide you with the best possible services in all aspects of the move at both origin, destination and all in-between!

First class service, business class delivery…

A quality International relocation goes far beyond providing the heavy lifting service provided by all international moving companies. If you trust your move to a company like Unipack Global Relocation you can expect to choose from a whole range of services from handyman and maid services to finding a new Tennis Club! Support is a priority and we offer a range of online guides, FAQ’s and tips to help plan your move.

Global Relocation Logisitics

Monday, June 27th, 2011

The logistics of relocation are rarely easy for the employees being relocated, or for the HR managers organizing the relocation process. Your choice in a relocation management company—along with the service providers that company selects to assist with the relocation makes a tremendous difference.

When shopping for relocation service providers, you want a company whose relocation services make the move as stress-free as possible. A successful relocation process should:

* Aid in your company’s recruiting and retention initiatives.
* Make the relocation process low-stress for your company and the transferees
* Get transferees fully engaged, and focused on their new job, sooner.
* Help maintain productivity of the HR employees and other staff involved in the relocation process.
* Keep relocation costs down.
* Be consistent across your company, while offering flexibility to keep transferees satisfied.

Relocation Company vs Relocation Management Company

Saturday, June 25th, 2011

If you’re planning to relocate just a few employees to different offices or even planning a large-scale relocation of your entire workforce, you may think you can do it in-house, relying on your human resources staff to assist in booking a relocation company to, well, get things moving.

But a relocation company (otherwise known as a moving company) may not offer all the help you need. Don’t be misled by a name. A relocation company, which often estimates the cost of a move based on weight and mileage, offers little more than packing and transport services. Sure, a relocation company can help you transport your household goods, pets and vehicles — and do it well. But when you’re talking corporate relocation, there’s a lot more involved.

Understanding What a Relocation Management Company Can Do

A relocation management company will provide one single point of contact for all your other relocation services (including that relocation, or — more accurately — moving company). If you already work with relocation management providers, there might be no need to switch.

Your relocation management company will assess relocation service providers and the value they offer, making recommendations for new service providers when appropriate.

Quality Management and International Relocation

Monday, June 20th, 2011

On an international scale, factors which effect service delivery and the ability to measure it, are magnified. International Relocation demands rigid, thorough and effective systems of Quality Control in place. Service quality is dependent on expectations of the client, limitations on what can be achieved (customs, housing market, school availability etc) and a seamless service delivery from suppliers and contractors. Coupled with this, the corporate relocation sector demands top block service delivery for extremely high value clients. Operating in this area means that Unipack Global Relocation has applied this ethos throughout the company meaning service quality is consistently exceptional.

To maintain a high level of quality, Unipack Global Relocation has a dedicated Quality Management Team (QMT), reporting directly to the CEO and Managing Director.

The team compliments service offering by measuring and monitoring service delivery at every stage with the assistance of a dedicated and internally developed system. The QMT monitors all factors which effect service quality from the complex relationships with suppliers, partners and agents, to individual assignee satisfaction grading.

Wednesday, May 25th, 2011

Last but not least is the thought of finding somewhere to live abroad. By now you’ll have a clear favorite in the location stakes but now you need to examine the property market and whether it’s easy and affordable to rent accommodation when you first arrive and whether, long term, it’s possible for foreign residents to purchase freehold property abroad.

The Plan to Work Abroad: Employment

Friday, May 20th, 2011

Are you a professional in a given industry or do you have a flexible skill set that will allow you to seek work in many different sectors? Do your qualifications translate favorably and transfer directly when moving overseas? What sectors would you like to work in, in which countries can you find work in a profession that suits you?

These are all questions you have to consider carefully. Next, if you’re moving overseas permanently you need to be practical and realistic and consider the long term employment prospects for you, your spouse and any other family members accompanying you…if you can find employment today how easy will it be to change employer or advance your career later in life?

You should then examine your desired location carefully and determine whether or not you need work permits, residency visas and permission to work and live abroad, if so you should get the ball rolling and apply as soon as possible in case of any paperwork and administrative delays.

Also consider the taxation and financial aspects of working abroad…remember that if you’re moving to a low cost country the economy will likely pay lower wages than you’re used to, will these be sufficient to sustain your ideal lifestyle?
