MoveMinds: Hitting the Ground Running 09.30.2024 | Laura Levenson

Good partners are truly the foundation of exceptional relocation experiences, and we are grateful to work with the best in the biz to provide specialized expertise, logistical capabilities, and local knowledge to our clients’ mobile talent. Our provider partners’ contributions range from transportation and housing to customs clearance and destination services, ensuring every aspect of a move is handled with utmost precision and care.
 

The strength of these partnerships has been instrumental in helping us to outshine our largest competitors in consistently achieving top service scores from relocating employees and corporate mobility managers alike. By fostering collaborative relationships built on trust, reliability, and mutual respect, we can leverage their strengths and develop targeted, agile solutions to keep our clients and their customers moving forward in a mobility landscape that is forever in flux.

We’re proud of this synergy, which is why we were keen to tap into the wisdom of our partner providers and understand their unique perspectives on everything from managing mobile talent to overcoming global challenges to the shifting role of the mobility function within the companies we serve.

Our podcast series, MoveMinds, features conversations about the transformative power of talent mobility – for the people who move and the companies who move them. Each episode spotlights an expert from one of our provider partners as they explore a mobility hot topic with a Weichert host.

Introducing Oksana Ellalasingham of Cultural Awareness International

In the third episode of our educational podcast series, Weichert’s Advisory Practice Leader, Laura Levenson, is joined by Oksana Ellalasingham of Cultural Awareness International to discuss the critical role that destination services play in helping relocating employees hit the ground running in their new community. A shaky start to a relocation can dramatically decrease the success of the assignment, so ensuing a strong, seamless foundation is vital to ensuring employee engagement and high productivity. And, as Oksana details, DSPs are highly skilled in asking the right questions to deliver the personalized outcomes that relocating families need to thrive.

Whether your employees are relocating domestically or globally, Oksana shares how you can capture the huge added value of saved time, money, and effort through leveraging a trusted DSP:

The destination services allow the employees to be well prepared for their move, with the DSP always being steps ahead of the employee and equipping them for a seamless, worry free relocation process. DSPs come with an invaluable knowledge of the area of the local regulations, and with useful tools to eliminate pressure on the assignee and consequently on their employer.
