Toy Airplane and Passport with Suitcase for International Relocation

MILWAUKEE, April 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WHR Global (WHR), a leader in the global employee relocation industry, announced the release of its international 2023 Destination Services Benchmark Report called “Ask an Expert.” WHR surveyed 32 companies from its trusted destination services provider network, covering 56 countries worldwide. WHR believes its Benchmark report will help current and future clients compare their global mobility programs to other companies’ destination service offerings for relocating employees and assignees. As companies continue to compete for talent, relocation benefits must be competitive.

Destination services help relocating employees get settled in their new location and can include the following: Departure Services, Area Orientation; Local Registration; Tenancy Management, Lease Check Out and Property Management; Home Search; Mortgage Counseling; Temporary Housing; Spousal and Partner Career Assistance; Help with Immigration (Visa and Immigration Regulations); School Search for Children; Moving Pets; Language and Cultural Training; and Other Settling-In Services.

Les données de référence du WHR comprennent les éléments suivants pour 56 pays :

  • Le nombre moyen de jours pendant lesquels les entreprises offrent des services de destination et les jours recommandés, par pays (pour les employés de niveau débutant, moyen et supérieur, et pour les familles de différentes tailles).
  • Les contrats de location les plus courants pour les expatriés, par pays.
  • Services de destination présentant le plus de difficultés, par pays.
  • Services de départ proposés aux employés quittant un lieu de travail, par pays.
  • Facilité ou difficulté à récupérer les dépôts de garantie et délais, par pays.
  • Autres services de destination recommandés, par pays.

According to WHR Strategic Initiatives Manager, Sean Thrun, “Benchmarking destination services helps answer key questions that are critical to employee engagement and retention: Am I offering my employees enough support? Should we provide departure services, or are employees capable of handling on their own? What should my employees be aware of when they move to this country? If your employees are highly specialized and difficult to replace, this benchmark will guide the service level you provide, and help your employees relocate eyes wide open.”

Les conclusions de l'analyse comparative détaillée sont les suivantes :

  • En Allemagne, la restitution d'un dépôt de garantie peut prendre jusqu'à 11 mois, car le locataire doit attendre la fin de l'année pour les calculs des compagnies d'électricité.
  • Aux Philippines, un prestataire de services de destination a recommandé au moins deux jours de soutien pour les employés débutants (dont la famille compte un membre) et cinq jours de soutien pour les employés cadres (dont la famille compte trois membres).
