Co-Relocator
What is co-relocation and why is it important?
When your company relocates an employee, you aren’t just relocating an individual. You’re transferring a couple, a family unit, a team. The partner in that team is the co-relocator.
While the employee inherits an automatic sense of community, namely the company, the co-relocating partner does not. The partner’s role is to ensure the family’s successful community assimilation during the very time when their support structure and comfort level has been virtually eliminated.
The relocating employee frequently views the transition as a job or career change. For the relocating partner, however, it’s a life change! That partner’s successful or unsuccessful transition to the new area directly impacts the satisfaction of your employee. In fact, a partner’s mere perception of the transition could prevent you from securing a valuable employee.
How can co-relocation programs help?
- Statistics show that 57% of employees decline relocation because of the partner’s career, and another 36% refuse relocation because of family concerns.
- Failure rates for new, relocating executive hires approach 50%. Of those failed assignments, 94% are related to partner dissatisfaction and family concerns.
- You want your new employee to be successful, to adjust quickly without distractions. That success depends directly on the satisfaction of the partner and family.
