Our aerospace client needed a partner to help them better manage candidates, estimate costs, track spending, and provide self-service and fully managed support to their relocating employees. They were searching for a relocation provider to meet their high expectation, and one who shared their focus on modern tech and its role in managing their internal systems.
As manufacturers of some of the most renowned jets in the world, the company was on the cusp of releasing two new highly anticipated models and was rapidly staffing to fill all the pre-orders. Recruiting the highly skilled technician and engineering talent required amid a global talent shortage isn’t easy. They were committed to providing the best employee experience possible – a strategy that would help them attract and hold on to their top talent.
“We were looking for expertise and the ability to easily manage candidates receiving mobility as a benefit and track critical metrics by business unit. We found that Weichert was extremely experienced in providing both self-service options and assisted support to our relocating employees, but the Weichert Go dashboard offered the program transparency at the click of a mouse.”

Weichert GO was the technology answer they were searching for, but our detailed and fool-proof implementation systems and processes were the icing on the cake.
A dedicated Weichert implementation project manager helped design their mobility program and provided thorough communication materials to educate their internal stakeholders about the new processes. So everyone was up to speed, fast!
Having each facet of the implementation process tracked and accessible within an Implementation Dashboard not only offered full visibility into each stakeholder’s workflows but also helped build cohesion with colleagues in new facilities who hadn’t been with the company for long.
“Everything from helping us design the program to actually creating the communication materials was handled by Weichert, and it was done extremely quickly. I’m located in Teterboro, but it was so easy to implement and educate our colleagues in Little Rock or Melbourne, and this was incredibly useful to us from an HR and mobility perspective.”
The implementation was completed in record time – 45 days – and the impact upon their internal processes was transformative: From manual, Google-search-powered move guesstimates to calculate a lump sum to data-driven, high-touch support, and benefits to ensure that each move is as seamless and successful as possible.
This new clarity into their processes led to some shocking realizations on the client’s part about how much money was being previously spent on relocation and the disparities between departments and business units. Now, with access to the right statistics and costing data, it’s easier for the client’s internal team to budget, calculate, and track the cost of each move, ensuring each dollar is spent as efficiently as possible.
“We’ve gone from a very loosely defined policy to a robust policy framework, with compliance with that policy fully managed by Weichert through their tools and expertise. We’re a very small and busy HR team, so having Weichert take the lead, from move initiation to the signing of repayment agreements, has helped us immensely.”
Freeing the burden upon the client’s internal HR team has allowed them to focus on the business needs and what they’re most skilled at — recruiting talent! Building consistency in the mobility process typically cascades into other benefits to the business, reducing costs, building greater compliance, and ultimately, happier, more fulfilled employees. And this directly impacts the reputation of the company, bolstering its brand as an employer of choice.
Weichert’s revolutionary Implementation Dashboard is a customized tool allowing for seamless collaboration, helping to manage multiple internal and external stakeholders and workflows with ease. This alignment has eliminated the most common hurdle to the implementation process, the lack of communication between parties, and the result is an infinitely smoother, faster change management process.
