Stallion Van Lines is actively involved with many Edmonton Businesses in the area of employee relocation.
The combination of the moving expense and all other expenses associated with the relocation can become a  costly venture, making it very important to manage the relocation process carefully and effectively.
We recommend that all companies have in place, some type of relocation policy. There are many advantages of having a relocation policy in place for the employee, the company and the carrier.
Direct benefits include improved;
- Cost control,
- Efficient record keeping
- Effective communication with employees and carriers.
Effective communication with employees is essential. The employee benefits from good communication by being prepared for the move, and by knowing what types of services are allowed under the company’s relocation policy. Also, they know where to direct any questions or whom to contact in case of an emergency. This knowledge reduces frustration for both the employee and family. This benefits the company by allowing the employee to focus his efforts in adjusting to the new position at destination, in turn, reducing non-productivity.
Equally important is the line of communication for the carrier. Consultants, packers and drivers must be aware of your company’s authorized services set forth in the relocation policy. This knowledge can reduce billing and invoicing mistakes. By staying updated on policies we become an important contact for the employee right up until the move day, being able to answer last minute questions or concerns.
Should you wish to develop a relocation policy, Stallion Van Lines would be pleased to provide our resources and experience in the area to assist you in the development of that policy. If your company currently has an active relocation policy, we would be pleased to work with you and your employees on any relocation.
