When it comes to corporate relocation there is more than one way to assist your employees to their new assignments overseas.

Many companies will opt for either a traditional international relocation program; a lump sum option, or a combination of the two. The company’s option choice is often dependent on the circumstances and position of the transferee.

Lump Sum Relocation Option

Employees are given pre-determined funds to cover all aspects of their move and it then becomes entirely their responsibility; such as the shipping of goods to temporary housing. The transferee is solely in charge of the researching and obtaining of every service they require when moving overseas.

Problems can occur when the employee has no prior moving experience and so feels out of their depth; likewise for the employer.

HR and finance departments don’t have access to tracking or reporting. And so, as a result, they are unable to know whether their relocation policies are too generous. Consequently, the company could be paying too much or too little money than necessary.
