What Should You Expect from a Relocation Management Company?
| |
Relocation Management Companies (RMC's) formerly known as a "Third Party Company" have come a long way. The Third Party Company was so named because they were the third party in a home sale transaction between the company and their employees. An RMC is much more. An RMC is a full service company helping corporations with mobility initiatives from beginning to end. Getting families from here to there is complex and requires more preparation by the company and the family.
RMC's go beyond transactional services of shipment of household goods, home sale, and temporary living, etc. and now offer services such as:
- pre-decision counseling
- budget forecasting
- assignment readiness evaluations
- cultural awareness & language training
- legal, tax and financial assistance
and the list goes on....
The sale of a home does continue to play a pivotal role in a smooth relocation. Home values are still decling in most areas and this is a huge factor in failed relocation or a relocation that never gets off the ground. Cost analysis tools and pre-decision assessments offered by RMC's are popular in identifying and clearing away the roadblocks.
Your RMC should keep you informed of the essentials of your employee moves as well as big picture trends affecting your policy. Keeping your policy current helps you minimize your companys costs and remain competitive.
RMC's offer companies convenient on-line access to initiate services, check progress, run reports, send messages and approvals. Employees can submit expenses, contact their consultant, receive and review instructions or documents.
But the most important thing an RMC can provide is an experienced Consultant with the time to manage all of the details. Your employee needs to know without a doubt who they can call, day or night, with any questions or concerns. Your employee should not have to deal with the inefficiency of an answering service or call center.
NRI Relocation offers our customers some of the best Consultants in the industry. Averaging 15 years of experience and 10 years tenure at NRI, our seasoned veterans can skillfully and calmly guide your employees to their new destinations.
