RELOCATION CAN BE A STRESSFUL TIME

Channel 12’s Health Authority features Promark Company/OI Partners Inc. and consultant Linda Tefend discussing the benefit of companies offering co-relocation support to relocating employees and their families. Stress related health concerns resulting from families relocating for new jobs are sometimes monumental. Incomes are often reduced by half or more while life must go on. Relocating partners are typically charged with finalizing the move and initiating a job search while settling the family and navigating the area in search of schools, day care, medical care and other related services.

Companies offering job assistance and community assimilation support to the relocating partner eliminate much of the family’s anxiety related to moving to a new city, which results in an immediate return on investment by ensuring that the employee is productive and that the family moves forward as quickly as possible.
