Relocating to the UK

Organisations that want to consider international talent mobility must also engage the employee first. It is often the myriad of processes that 'sinks' the individual. The key objective for any organisation is to get any new executive settled and contributing to the strategy as quickly as possible. If you don't get the support right, the employee struggles and the company does not see the benefit.
For an employee and their family, the process of relocating to another country is a major life event that will need to be carefully managed and supported by the employer. “It is vital that the individual feels supported by their manager and the organisation before, during and after the assignment.” explains Sharon Dziruni of Venna Relocation Services. "If things go wrong, the costs will be very high, both to the employee and to the employer."

Among the factors that affect relocation are finding suitable homes, spouse and partner employment issues, school search, child care concerns, and a general trend toward quality-of-life issues having more influence on the employee's decision to relocate. UK scores highly with its proximity to continental Europe, good educational establishments and excellent shopping centres.

Thorough preparation and planning is vital, as is ongoing management once the employee settles into their new area. The right approach will not only ensure the employee relishes and makes the best of opportunities that their new surroundings bring, but that the assignment also succeeds.
