Weichert Workforce Mobility Inc., one of the world’s leading providers of corporate mobile workforce solutions, today announced that it has established a wholly-owned tax subsidiary, Weichert Mobility Tax Services, Inc.
We are sharing this important information with our clients, mobile employees and the general public as a courtesy due to the large number of people across the United States who may be impacted.
Your policy is the core of your workforce mobility program and it can dictate as much as 98% of the costs you incur. You want to control spend, especially since average domestic relocations can cost upwards of $80,000.
Life on assignment drives mobile employees’ ability to advance their careers. Providing an automobile or car allowance to enable assignees to drive themselves around their destination location is another story.
Convincing your key talent to take a move can be a tough sell when the cost of living in the destination location is higher than in the current home base area.
Relocation can be an incredibly exciting opportunity for the rising talent with your organization.
Weichert Workforce Mobility will be conducting complimentary, half-day educational summits for HR & corporate mobility professionals in Zurich and Geneva.
