Ask Maura: 5 Trends We're Watching In Relocation

Moving your employees across the U.S. for work? We're experts at global talent mobility. Here are 5 updated trends we're watching and think you should know about.

One: Rental Markets

Rental markets in the US have been pretty wild for the past few years. Good news, a million new apartments are coming on line this year and next, and when they do, expect the cost of rent to level off.

Two: Inclusivity

Inclusivity is important and becoming better recognized in this industry. When your employees move, they want more than a checklist, they want support that recognizes their personal needs. 

Three: Comfort

COVID-19 taught people to really value their personal space for safety, security, and productivity. If you are sending your employees on an assignment or extended business trip, think about a corporate apartment instead of a hotel. It's most likely cheaper and feels a lot more like home than a hotel room does.

Four: Sustainability

 Sustainability is important to stakeholders, including your employees. Make sure you ask your suppliers what they're doing to decrease the nearly 40 billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions created by global business travel every year.

Five: Local Experts

Everyone loves intuitive technology, AI, and good data. However, what people really value is a local expert who cuts through the noise and helps them with their specific needs, makes sense of competing information, and keeps it all organized. That's why we've got 1,000+ local experts on the ground in cities all over the world helping people with their moves, every day.

Businesses have to keep moving, even in a world of uncertainty. If you're moving your talent and looking for a partner to get them where they need to go, get in touch with us today.
