The Achilles heel of Relocation: Homesickness

Relocation is a stressful process that involves leaving your home and moving to a new house in a different neighborhood / city/ country which leads us to the following question:


"What do you look for while choosing a mover - service/price/experience?"

Allow me to answer...

According to the research informed by the brilliant Kristin Ash (Global Benefits Group), the cost to the US in failed expat assignments is approximately $2.5B per year.

Indeed it's an astonishing amount and shows exactly what a bad relocation can do.

Furthermore, as the waste of money was not enough to aggrieve the process, there's a very often condition that afflicts the expat overseas: the homesickness.

Different country, different culture, different language, different food... All of these things contribute to make the expat feels the homesickness. The expats miss their houses, their relatives and friends, their homeland. Note that such situation is way counterproductive and the company feels the employee's suffering by analyzing low results due to their low performance.

As you can see, relocation is a very important service, so I strongly recommend you to look for best service and experience.

Price is completely out of this concern.

For a good relocation, you must choose the best and the most experienced agent, who must collect both personal and professional data, must find the best place for the expat in a neighborhood with good schools for the kids, clubs and malls for wife and perhaps a city that offer to expat and family a bit of their own culture as food and things like this which can ease the homesickness.

Do not take only the costs too much into consideration when dealing about relocation, pick the best service possible.

If you need anything else, please let me know.
