A Service Partner and a Business Partner Around the Globe
Clients can engage with us for service to a single city, a specific country, a region, or the full 16 countries where we deliver Destination Services. Local expertise is at the heart of our destination services experiences. Dwellworks is the only destination services provider that delivers in-market expertise through 1200+ local Destination Services Consultants with a passion for service and the local knowledge that converts a new expat into an advocate for their employer and their relocation experience.
Employees want more than an online search when they are making critical decisions impacting their careers and family. A trusted Dwellworks Destination Services Consultant can make all the difference between a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ decision to accept a relocation offer and a ‘stay’ or ‘leave’ decision on arrival in the new location.
Our clients tell us a key value we bring is simplifying and streamlining the complex process of managing employee needs across multiple geographies. We’re not just experts at the employee experience, we’re subject matter experts in local regulations, global governance and compliance, data privacy and security, and business continuity when challenges occur in the global landscape.
We’re service partners to every well-known relocation management company. We manage destination services for 80% of the global Fortune 500, and support startups and emerging business from Adelaide to Albuquerque. We're proud to deliver global consistency and local knowledge to support the successful move of corporate talent.
We focus on successful destination services so our clients can focus on global growth and success.
Meeting Critical Employee Needs and More – Our Core Destination Services
We want the relocation process to be a positive experience for your valuable global talent.
Our Destination Services are here for every stage of their relocation journey - whether the program involves multiple employees in a corporate group move, a critical assignment to a remote location for a rising executive, or meeting the unique requests of an employee and their family, our area orientation, rental home finding assistance, settling-in, and departure services cover every stage of their inbound and outbound on-assignment experience.
For all services, we contact your employee within the first 24 hours of your service authorization because we know they are eager to learn about their destination and gain access to the support that will make their move easier.
Area Orientation
Every employee wants to know more about the place they are moving to, whether it’s previewing neighborhoods for the best rental options, testing out commute times, or getting a feel for what the community has to offer. Our Destination Services Consultants always start the service experience with “How can I help?” and then put their local expertise to work with information that matches your employee’s priorities.
Rental Home Finding Assistance
Our Consultants are experts in explaining the realities of the rental market in the destination city and matching property solutions to employee budgets, requirements, and expectations. They are also a trusted resource for understanding local leasing practices and landlord requirements.
Dwellworks Destination Services Consultants help employees submit complete, well-documented rental applications to ensure selection by landlords.
Settling-in Services
Our Destination Services Consultants can guide the employee through the full settling-in process, which typically includes support for key services like local social services registrations, driver’s license applications, utility setups, and banking services.
Want to know where the closest dog park is or running trail? Our local experts provide suggestions about community amenities from food markets to health clubs and offer recommendations on the latest hot spots from restaurants to theaters.
Departure Services
Clients authorize this service when they are looking for end-of-assignment support for their employees.
Our Destination Services Consultants advise on the landlord’s notification requirements for rental termination, support final property inspections, and provide guidance on the steps employees should follow to ensure a successful refund of their rental deposit.

Digital Services for Mobility Needs
Relocating to a new city or country is complicated. Why depend on unvetted and potentially risky internet searches when we can take the guesswork out of area information, rental market rates, property searches, local regulations, and so much more?
That's why Dwellworks launched Dwellworks Direct, designed to support new trends in global mobility policies and to meet the expectations of new global mobility populations. As the leader in excellence in the destination services customer experience, Dwellworks understands what’s needed to support successful moves to new locations for employees being offered a lump sum for a corporate move. In direct response to client requests, we’ve designed Dwellworks Direct to deliver digital-first, self-paced solutions for globally mobile talent. We understand new generations of talent prefer to work with digital tools, manage their own services and pace of engagement, and make choices informed by trusted content. Designed to support the ‘self-managed’ move, our Dwellworks Direct tiers provide information on every essential destination topic: area orientation, neighborhood insights, rental markets, commute distances, school search, local registration requirements, how to search for rentals, how to review a lease, how to find the most efficient motor vehicles bureau, even information on sustainable resources and outreach for employees who want assurance of an inclusive community in their new location. Employees with a lump sum benefit can browse and select solutions that help them get the best value in planning a successful destination experience.

Outstanding Customer Feedback - Year After Year
Dwellworks is the only destination services provider that has consistently ranked the highest in customer satisfaction in our industry’s only independent national survey of relocating employees.
And customers tell us the same thing every day, through our Pulse Checks, a simple and effective process that has provided us with overwhelmingly positive feedback, while inspiring us to do better through the analysis of daily customer insights.
Our ‘Pulse Check’ process has created 50,186 invitations for fast feedback through October 2024, secured a 41% response rate, and earned 98.4% positive service experience feedback.
The Pulse Check process is simple in design: 100% of the Destination Services customers we serve are invited to our myDwellworksSM platform. Once the service process is underway, the customer receives alerts in myDwellworksSM asking for feedback on their experience so we can adjust any issues or assist in any other way. This is done via a simple question -- ‘How do you feel about the service you’re receiving from your Dwellworks Experience Manager?' The answer is a green smiling face or a red frowning face, and the customer is always invited to provide a more detailed explanation of their rating.
Pulse Checks have proved to be the trifecta of data-driven analytics: they provide specific, actionable feedback directly from customers in real time, at high volumes.
