Employee relocation can be challenging, even under the best of circumstances. When it comes to managing the logistics of a group move though, those challenges are compounded. Proper planning is crucial to the overall success of a group move. But planning goes beyond establishing dates and time frames. It starts with determining what your goals are for the move and identifying the partner who can best help you to attain them.

 In the case of RELO Direct^® client Electrolux, the goal was to have all affected employees accept the group move opportunity. This goal became the basis for their program, and every component of the relocation policy was specifically designed to ensure success. Key consideration was given to the team established for managing the move, establishing clear roles and responsibilities, and engaging all stakeholders in the process.

 Specifics about RELO Direct’s group move plan for Electrolux can be found in our White Paper “Workforce Mobilization Designed to Retain Valued Assets,” which can be downloaded here. In the end, together Electrolux and RELO Direct^® achieved an employee acceptance rate of nearly 90%, securing the success of their “One Electrolux” initiative.
