What is employee relocation in 2020?
Relocation (from English Relocation) is the movement of one or a group of specialists to another region or country in order to continue to perform their work functions. This option is the most optimal for an organization experiencing a shortage of personnel in one of its branches and an excess in another.
The main reason for the movement of employees is staff shortage, which the company solves by relocating personnel. In large cities it is easier to select and train a new team of specialists, while in the outback this can be a real problem. Or, conversely, in a small town there may be a creative employee who is indispensable in the larger structure of the organization located in the capital.
The relocation of qualified personnel allows not only to improve the productivity of the enterprise, but also to avoid the so-called burnout syndrome, when a person “stays too long” in one place. A change of environment associated with a change in place of residence, climate, or workplace can have a fairly positive effect on the psychological state of the employee.
The relocation of branch managers can make it possible to introduce new ideas into the industry and invigorate the staff. An outside perspective can often help weed out individuals who are slowing down productivity. A manager who has perfect knowledge of the operating principles of an enterprise, coming as a manager to another branch, can help him cope with a temporary crisis.
Relocation may concern not only highly qualified personnel, but also working personnel.

Pros for the company
Relocation allows you to test the potential of promising employees, give them the opportunity to reveal themselves in a new place and lay the start of a successful career.
The company, of course, only benefits from this.
But how do employees feel about such ideas and how ready are they for changes in their lives?
The decision to move is often difficult to make. After all, an employee has to leave his “comfort zone,” so appropriate motivation on the part of the employer is important. What might determine the positive reaction of employees who are offered relocation?
- Wage. Most specialists are more willing to agree if the salary level is increased.
- New place of work. Workers who are sent from small to large cities or to a division of an organization located abroad are more willing to agree to relocation.
- Moving up the career ladder. Relocation often involves the career advancement of a specialist who moves to another branch for a higher position. Then he has a greater chance of returning to a similar position during a temporary move.
- Family arrangement. Young, ambitious professionals who are not burdened by family ties usually agree to relocation more easily. However, the company may have efficient, reliable and competent employees who have families with children. Then the employer will have to solve the housing issue for them, the problems of moving and settling children in institutions at their new place of residence. There are often cases when an organization rents housing for them at its own expense for the duration of the contract or provides interest-free installments for its purchase.
Personnel relocation
New branches and divisions of companies always require the number of personnel capable of ensuring the smooth running of work processes. Today, it is becoming increasingly difficult for employers to find suitable personnel within the metropolis and its environs. The only possible way out of the situation is to attract personnel from other regions. This method of moving an employee from his home village or city to another area (city or another country) is called “relocation”.
Personnel relocation is one of the optimal solutions to the problem of personnel shortages. It involves moving a person to another area, including a change of place of residence, as a result of obtaining a job in another city or even country. Both international and large Russian enterprises resort to searching and attracting personnel in this way, regardless of their field of activity. Relocation includes specialists from absolutely all industries: from working personnel (loaders, salespeople, cleaners, etc.) to engineers, oil workers and drillers.
