THE EMPLOYEE PERSPECTIVE

You’re probably wondering where to begin, and by now have realized that it’s a complicated process moving an office and/or employees, but keep in mind that it can be even more complicated for the actual employee who has to make the move. First, there is the stress of getting things organized and in proper order to begin the packing process. Then there is the home element, and the idea of moving their personal lives.

LET ALLIED HELP YOU

They include coverage, logistics, and moving and storage solutions.  And because Allied Van Lines understands your needs, they’ve launched “Corporate Express”, a service that is specifically designed to handle small corporate relocations for long-distance moves. Among the many recipients of this new service, this is also an applicable solution for small-shipment candidates like newly graduated professionals, interns, and temporary employees.

For the smaller corporate moves, Allied utilizes containers capable of holding 1,000 pounds of household and/or office goods – the equivalent of one room with standard furniture. Compared to using larger trucks, the containers provide faster transit times and no extra shuttle charges, meaning less spend and simpler drop-offs upon arrival. This is especially beneficial in the busier, more congested major metro areas. In traditional spaces, small relocations can take weeks. With Allied’s alternative service, transferees can relocate in days – specifying pick-up and delivery dates that can be made flexible, free of charge.  

Moving is always stressful, and it can be even more so when you are moving for work. As an employer, there are a number of things you can do to make the relocation process easier for your employees – but most importantly, make sure you’re maximizing the resources best suited for them and their life situation.
