Relocation is a process of moving people or business to a different place. Relocation services are the services focused on full relocation of families or business. Employee relocation, also known as corporate relocation, includes the transfer of an employee and any family members by a company from one work location to another. A corporate move can include domestic residential services where an employee moves within a country or state as well as international relocation services which include planning for working abroad. An agency providing relocation services directs and manages the process of relocation including arranging necessary documents such as getting a visa or long term stay permissions, finding a new house, finding a school for children, finding a job for the partner or trailing spouse and arranging a teacher for the family for language teaching.
Business relocation includes founding a new company based in a new country, governmental permissions, official documents, renting a new office space, and hiring workers. Office moving will involved the set up of the furniture, cubicles, and office equipment. Some corporate relocation firms charge fees to the company and pass it on to the employees but most businesses do not charge a fee for this type of service.
Professional moving companies use only sturdy, reinforced cartons. Although the packing boxes you can obtain from your neighborhood supermarket or liquor store may be free, they are not nearly as strong or padded. They are more susceptible to causing damage to your valuables in transit.
It is imperative for you to buffer and separate fragile objects with sheets, blankets, pillows and towels. Fill in empty spaces to minimize movement during your move. Pack plates and glass objects vertically, rather than flat and stacked. Be sure to point out to your mover the boxes in which you’ve packed fragile items, especially if those items are valuable. The mover will advise you on whether those valuables need to be repacked in sturdier, more appropriate boxes.
If you are moving long distance, be aware that your property might share a truck with that of several other households. For this reason, your mover might have to warehouse your furniture and belongings for several days. Therefore, ask your mover whether your goods will remain on the truck until delivered. If they have to be stored, ask whether you can check the warehouse for security, organization and cleanliness.
