Moving is a stressful endeavor for companies and their employees, and can involve reductions-in-force, restructuring, and relocating positions and\/or employees. In order to minimize this stress\u2014and preserve brand reputation\u2014it\u2019s important to communicate clearly and transparently and provide benefits to both those who are offered relocation opportunities and <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.intoo.com\/us\/solutions\/outplacement\/what-is-outplacement\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to those whose positions are eliminated<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Considerations for your workforce<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether moving a department, regional office, or headquarters, the employees at the closing location may be faced with difficult choices. The decision of whether to accept relocation benefits and move with a company must take into consideration a multitude of factors, including proximity to family, spouse\/partner employment, children\u2019s schools, and more. And for some in less senior positions, those benefits may not be offered at all; instead, those employees may face layoffs should the company choose to fill those roles with local talent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even for those being offered relocation, such an offer can feel equivalent to a layoff if moving is undesirable or impossible for them or their families. The 2020 Atlas corporate relocation survey reported that <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">more and more employees have declined relocation since 2018<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, with the primary reasons being family ties and spouse\/partner employment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another option to consider is the potential for a remote workforce. The pandemic has proven to many employers that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/354872\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">remote work is not only possible<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but also can be beneficial in some circumstances. In fact, if you are relocating purely for cost-savings benefits, you may wish to consider whether a partial or totally remote workforce would serve your organization, as you may save even more by reducing or eliminating overhead costs such as real estate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If yours is an organization that must have at least part of its workforce onsite and layoffs will be necessary, controlling the message about your move is vital to <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.intoo.com\/us\/blog\/how-to-deal-with-company-reorganization-5-tips-for-employers\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reducing rumors, misinformation and stress among your employees, just as you would about any other major change, such as reorganization<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This is true whether or not an announcement about relocation would come as a surprise to your workforce.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve determined who will get offers and when the relocation will take place, consider these three ways you can support your employees and protect your brand as you implement your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">company relocation<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> plans.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Three ways to protect your employer brand during <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">company relocation<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Control your messaging<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You want your employees to feel respected throughout the relocation process. That starts with the announcement and continues through follow-up communications that provide details about the move and how employment may be impacted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The messaging about the relocation must be controlled internally by <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">providing timely, clear, and transparent communication to your workforce<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, optimally before the news reaches the press. Be ready to explain the reason for the move, and to answer a multitude of questions that are likely to be posed by your workforce about the new location, their jobs, the advantages of moving, and what will happen if they are not offered relocation. In a recent CareerArc + Intoo study on employer brand, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/resources.intoo.com\/guides\/why-you-should-care-about-your-employer-brand?utm_source=website&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">64% of respondents switched brands or stopped purchasing products from companies tarnished by news of poor employee treatment<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. As transparency concerning all matters related to the move is key to building and retaining trust and loyalty among your employees, it can also benefit your bottom line.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Help your relocating employees<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on the size of your relocating workforce, dedicating an employee or even hiring a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">company relocation<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> specialist to tackle employee concerns may make a significant difference in how these employees experience the move. Knowing that an expert is available to guide them through the decision-making process can take an enormous load off their shoulders, which will help them more easily transition and productively continue their work once they reach the new destination.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generous benefits can also encourage your employees to accept the relocation offer. Such benefits can include financial support not only for moving costs but also for an exploratory trip in advance of the relocation to look for housing. You should also consider partnering with local realtors to assist employees with selling and buying a home, and facilitating introductions to representatives from local schools for families with children. In some cases, it may also make sense to offer salary increases. The Interior Department made the choice to do so when it announced earlier this year that the headquarters of the Bureau of Land Management would be moving from DC to Grand Junction, Colorado. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fedweek.com\/fedweek\/interior-set-to-move-blm-headquarters-to-colorado\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Department offered a 25% salary incentive <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in addition to other relocation benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No matter which benefits you choose to include in your relocation package, ensure that they are administered based on defined criteria, so that you are able to easily <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shrm.org\/hr-today\/news\/hr-magazine\/Pages\/0314-talent-management-relocation.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">justify who is offered relocation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> opportunities and benefits. This way, you can prevent any misconception of discrimination among employees who do not receive them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Provide assistance to your exiting employees<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many considerations to take into account when deciding which employees will be offered relocation. For example, you may wish to offer to relocate only those employees who are most difficult to replace due to the complexity and specificity of their responsibilities and knowledge, such as those in senior level and management roles. Meanwhile, you may opt to rehire for junior staff positions at your new location.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In January, photography product and image sharing company Shutterfly announced plans to relocate its marketing positions from California to the Minneapolis area to consolidate teams. But instead of relocating its workforce, Shutterfly decided to take advantage of the talent local to Minneapolis and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bizjournals.com\/sanfrancisco\/news\/2020\/01\/30\/shutterfly-moving-100-jobs-out-of-the-bay-area.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reduced its headquarters staff by 25%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whatever the reason for the eliminated positions, ensuring your exiting employees are treated fairly and with the same respect as those who are remaining is vital to protecting your employer brand. Offering outplacement services to exiting employees\u2014such as career development coaching, job search assistance and resume writing\u2014as both Shutterfly and the Interior Department did for theirs, is an important step in this effort, as both those exiting and their remaining colleagues will know that care was taken to ease their transition by giving them an accelerated path forward to new employment. Just as a relocation specialist can help your moving employees feel guided in their process, so can outplacement coaches help guide exiting employees toward their next fulfilling roles.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moving locations; moving forward<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">positive company culture will make your employees more likely to accept a relocation offer<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The same factor can affect how your exiting employees respond to the news of their job eliminations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> company relocation<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is never easy, yours can be a successful one that respectfully considers the concerns of your entire workforce. And conducting a relocation in that manner will help your organization retain its brand reputation, with the public, your relocating employees, and those moving on to new endeavors.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/resources.intoo.com\/outplacement\/intoo-outplacement-overview?utm_source=website&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Intoo<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> helps employers <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/resources.intoo.com\/outplacement\/outplacement-roi?utm_source=website&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">protect their employer brand<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and do right by their workforce by transitioning employees to land their next job nearly 2.5 times faster than the national average time it takes to find employment\u2014all without leaving their homes.
