Does Your Relocation Management Company Provide a Customized, Right-Fit Program?

Companies achieve the most success with a customized, right-fit program for relocation that is specifically designed to meet their unique requirements. Employees and their families expect a broad range of services to help them during their relocation process. How can you be sure your company is competitive with your relocation program and able to attract and retain the best talent?

Here are five questions you should ask your Relocation Management Company (RMC) to ensure you receive a customized, right-fit program:

Why You Should Choose Global Mobility Solutions for your right-fit program

Does Your Program Align With Our Needs?

Your RMC should thoroughly review and understand your company’s mobility needs, objectives, move patterns, locations, and any other specific requirements. Ask your RMC how the program they provide will address each of these areas. Ask them how it will be in full alignment with your company’s worldwide mobility needs.

Does Your Program Provide Dedicated Account Management and Mobility Consulting?

You should have dedicated account management for your company so you can be sure your needs are met quickly and efficiently. Ask your RMC if they provide mobility consulting so Human Resources, Procurement, and Recruiting team members can have access to expert advice and guidance.

Is There a Single Point of Coordination?

Ask your RMC if they provide a single point of coordination for your employees and their families. Relocating employees should have a dedicated advocate who understands their specific needs. A single point of coordination allows for ease of communication and provides assistance for employees throughout their relocation process.

Does Your Program Provide Access to a World-Class Partner Network?

Your company should have access to a world-class partner network of providers. Employees and their families should receive the best service during their relocation process as it promotes successful relocations. Ask your RMC how they can assure your company receives the highest levels of quality at the lowest cost on a worldwide basis.

What Global Technology Does Your Program Provide?

Your employees and their families should have access to user-friendly tools and features so their relocation process is smooth and easy. Ask your RMC what technology they provide on a global basis. Your employees should always have access to the tools and resources they need, when and where they need it.

Top 5 Reasons for Expedited Bidding

What is Expedited Bidding?

The Expedited Bidding Process (EBP) is not an abbreviated approach. It is a request for proposal (RFP) that, like a traditional RFP, demands complete and detailed answers from relocation management companies (RMC). However, through expedited bidding, a company’s purchasing department only sends RFPs to a small, select group of key RMCs.

The trend in utilizing an EBP for the outsourcing of relocation management is at an all-time high. Global Mobility Solutions consulting team’s recent study shows that EBP utilization is up more than 200% over the last year. Why are so many companies turning to expedited bidding when looking for a mobility management solution?

Buying Solutions, Not Widgets
Purchasing relocation management is not like sourcing for parts. Ensuring the right fit for the right reasons is key when purchasing employee-facing services.

Courtesy Mobility Consulting
Policy reviews, recommendations, program design, and policy development can be part of the process. This allows for an evaluation of the RMC experience, knowledge, and quality of consulting work.

Immediate Cost Savings
Competition often equates to implicit cost savings through no fee implementation, less administrative burden and time investment, improved fee structures, and reduced direct costs.

Quicker Program Implementation
90% of EBP implementations are completed within 22 days, allowing for immediate efficiencies and realized savings.

Full RFP Avoidance
Eliminates the administrative burden for the purchasing department and reduces the need for extensive resources when compared to a formal Request for Proposal method.
