The human side of relocation

Abstract

Considers the most frequently overlooked aspects of relocation as a lack of awareness about the effects on employees, irrespective of how well planned the move is logistically. Highlights housing in new locations, confidentiality, planning of the relocation announcement, information availability, care for staff not relocating, and the availability of counselling as important factors. Concludes that communication with employees is the key to successful relocation, although there is no magic formula.
