Planning a corporate relocation budget isn't easy. It is important to keep it very realistic. Here’s a structured approach to help in your planning process:
Figure Out The Details:
- Scope of The Move: Determine the scale of the relocation - is it just the offices you are responsible for or also the employees and their families?
- Destination: Identify the new location and its cost of living relative to the current one. These additional costs must be paid to your employees.
- Offices: Make sure you know if you need to relocate to a rented space or buy offices.
- Employee Needs: Understand the specific needs of employees. They will need schools for their kids, jobs for their spouses, recreational activities, gyms, religious institutions, and more. Make their lives simpler by giving them the research in a small guide. The average package to compensate workers is usually more than $10,000 and goes up costing up to $100,000 depending on the role and workers.
