Seasoned HR professionals know the value of destination assistance to Transferees moving into the UK. Employees can get into nightmare situations, for example, when left entirely on their own to deal with unlicensed, unregulated “estate agents”. When this happens the success of the assignment is put in jeopardy and the wasted costs attached to a failed assignment are substantial.
HR know that providing destination assistance in the UK reduces the time employees spend in high cost temp accommodation and saves employees’ time/stress so they can focus on the job and become productive sooner. Yet many corporate HR clients say they meet resistance from Business Managers on the grounds of cost, except in the cases of senior Transferees/Expats.
But advances in technology have paved the way for low cost destination programs. Comprehensive online resources combined with live assistance from highly experienced local destination counselors are now very cost effective for all transfers. This pleases the Business Managers because the cost is low and the business-value is high! Transferees who were given zero assistance before, can now access valuable destination assistance.
