Employee relocation
A relocation abroad brings many changes and some challenges for your employees and their families. To make your employees feel at home in their new home quickly, we offer you a relocation service with the help of our worldwide partners on site. This includes all services that facilitate the relocation abroad. Whether visa application, real estate search or kindergarten registration - our Relocation Service Team will take care of all concerns.
If some of your company's employees need to relocate more frequently for business reasons, we can offer you a framework agreement for the private relocation of your employees. In advance, we jointly define which procedures are to be standardised and agree on the scope of the additional services. If you wish, we can handle the entire service from transport to furniture assembly and installation work. These clearly defined conditions are reflected in an individual framework agreement.
A standardised agreement will make it easier for you as a company to handle your employee relocations in the future - worldwide thanks to our international UTS network. If required, we can also offer you a complete relocation service for your employees.
Full-service from one source
With us you get all services from one source; this means that we also take care of all packing and assembly work , for example, if required. We can also take care of the IT wiring on request.
In addition, we work with checklists, that have proven themselves over time. In this way we keep an eye on all details and devote ourselves to the tasks that need to be done at the right time and in the right place. So there is nothing standing in the way of your employee relocation!
Plan an employee relocation correctly
Before the employee relocation, we will take a look at the local circumstances during an on-site visit with your employee. This serves to gain precise knowledge of the location, to determine the volume of the relocation and to record the specifications and wishes of the employee.
Then the planning and consulting phase begins: based on the information of the on-site visit, we then prepare a tailor-made Offer, and that meets your individual requirements.
Your employees do not need to worry about their belongings - heatable, air-suspended box bodies with tail lift are the standard for our GPS-monitored vehicles.
Should it ever be necessary to reach high places, we also offer external lifts for top floors.
If your employee moves abroad, this requires some advance planning. Thanks to our comprehensive Employee Relocation Service , we can offer you efficient support for the relocation of your employees.
You can rely on our full-service to ensure that your employee has a good and pleasant start to his or her new life abroad. Thus our service portfolio contains among other things:
