The benefits of enlisting the services of an RMC are numerous and far-reaching. In this blog post, we delve into why companies should seriously consider this partnership and how RMCs have become indispensable partners in ensuing successful employee relocations.

As the global business landscape becomes increasingly competitive, companies are looking for ways to stay ahead of the game. One way to do this is by expanding into new markets and leveraging talent from around the world. However, managing a global mobility program can be a complex and challenging task, requiring expertise in immigration, tax laws, and cultural differences. This is where relocation management companies (RMCs) come in. In this blog post, we will discuss the importance of companies using an RMC to manage their global mobility programs. 

1. Expertise and Experience

RMCs specialize in managing the relocation of employees for companies of all sizes and across all industries. We have the expertise and experience necessary to handle all aspects of global mobility programs, including immigration, shipment of goods, and destination services. RMCs are up to date on the latest laws and regulations in different countries, ensuring that companies remain compliant and avoid any legal or financial issues. With over 46 years of experience, MovePlus Mobility has a proven track record of managing relocations at a world-class level. 

2. Cost Savings

Using an RMC can also lead to cost savings for companies. MovePlus has established relationships with network suppliers and vendors in different countries. This allows us to negotiate better rates for services such as shipping, storage, and temporary housing and pass those savings onto our clients. Additionally, MovePlus helps companies manage program budgets and provide guidance and detailed reporting on cost-effective solutions for each stage of the relocation process. This fiduciary duty to our clients is supported by our industry-leading technology platform which provides advanced and instant reporting and data analytics.

3. Streamlined Processes

Managing a global mobility program can be a time-consuming and complex task. RMCs offer a centralized solution for businesses that may currently be handling moves through a decentralized approach, with each location managing relocations for their respective regions. By centralizing these services, companies can streamline and standardize their relocation processes, ensuring consistency and efficiency across all locations. This approach allows for better coordination, communication and a reduction in the HR department’s administrative burden and ensure that the relocation process is efficient and well-managed. 

4. Employee Satisfaction

Relocating to a new country can be a stressful experience for employees and their families. RMCs can help reduce stress by providing a range of services, such as orientation programs, language training, and cultural training. In addition, MovePlus Mobility provides a dedicated Relocation Advocate for all moves. The Advocate serves as the employee’s single point of coordination and helps employees settle into their new environment more quickly and increase their job satisfaction. 

5. Risk Management

A trusted RMC also plays a pivotal role in ensuring compliance with legal, tax, and immigration regulations in global mobility. Managing a relocation program comes with inherent risks, from compliance issues to the safety and security of employees. MovePlus helps mitigate these risks by providing thorough risk assessments, ensuring compliance with legal and tax requirements, helping manage immigration processes, offering travel security alerts, and implementing comprehensive emergency response plans. By centralizing these critical functions, companies can effectively manage and minimize potential risks.  

In conclusion, companies that partner with an RMC like MovePlus Mobility to manage their global mobility programs can benefit from their expertise and experience, cost savings, streamlined processes, increased employee satisfaction, and risk & compliance management.
