Helping employees make the right mobility decision means better ROI for the organization's mobility programs and a smoother transition for the employee and family. In today's economy, the stakes are high and room for error is low. Employees face concerns about the housing market, job market for spouses/partners, and general financial concerns related to the transition. In addition, employees may be concerned about any number of other obstacles to relocation - children's education, family healthcare, and much more.

At the same time, the company needs the right talent, whether new-hires or existing employees, to fill critical positions and achieve business objectives. For successful relocations to occur, the decision must balance the right person, the right time, and the right location. If not, the organization risks reduced employee engagement and productivity, and more importantly, they risk losing key talent.

Vandover provides assessment, coaching, and research to help employees and employers make the right mobility decisions.

Pre-Decision Coaching and Research
No two employees/families are alike when it comes to the circumstances that affect their mobility decision, and the employee may not know where to begin in determining the best course of action for self and family. Even veterans of relocation may struggle if asked to relocate to a particular area. Vandover's mobility decision program guides the employee and family through the decision process. A Vandover consultant provides coaching support to explore their circumstances and any perceived obstacles to relocation.

As an additional resource in the decision process, Vandover offers the TalentMobility® Assessment, a self-assessment tool that helps the employee/family discuss and identify the factors that are most important to them. Organizations whose employees complete the TalentMobility® Assessment will receive demographic and trend reports, along with policy consulting from Vandover to further strengthen their mobility programs and strategy.
