Relocation Services Alexandria VA

Relocation Services is a process of moving people or business to a different place. Relocation services are the services focused on full relocation of families or business.

Family relocation happens when a member of the family is moving to work abroad (diplomats, managers etc.). An agency providing relocation services directs and manages the process of relocation including arranging necessary documents (visa, long-term stay permissions), finding a new house (accommodation), finding a school for children (education), finding a job for the partner (work) and arranging a teacher for the family (language teaching).

Business relocation includes founding a new company based in a new country (governmental permissions, official documents etc.), renting a new office space, hiring workers.

Some corporate relocation firms charge fees to the company and pass it on to the employees, some don't.

A "Relocation Services professional" may be employed in one of several related fields: Corporate human resources, household goods movers (HHG), mobility counselors and consultants, international assignment (expatriate) professionals, and a range of concerned practitioners who are involved in workforce mobility. Many of these professionals are members of Worldwide ERC, formerly known as the Employee Relocation Council.

The relocation service professionals working in corporate human resources departments tend to be paying clients of relocation professionals working in all the other fields mentioned above. These relocation managers administer their employers' Relocation Services benefit program for new-hires and transferring employees. The typical corporate relocation department will rely on outside services to carry out most of the benefits since they require non-core expertise and resources.
