Hi all

I’m fairly new in my position and have noticed that the company does not have a working relocation policy. The nature of our business means that people are relocated regularly as projects come to an end or because their skills are required elsewhere. Our contracts allow us to do this without consultation as location is subject to operational requirements.

Despite this it is obviously important for us to assist employees when they are asked to work a long way from home. If anyone could share their policies with me or give me some advice on what to include I’d be grateful.

I’m not really sure about where to pitch the starting point of relocation assistance. i.e. in terms of mileage and how far the move is.

Obviously it is different for each employee how a move affects them and what is reasonable as some people might expect to live close enough to work to cycle in but I think we cannot cater for moves this close.

I want to do something both in terms of an individual moving and an entire project team being relocated.

Thanks in advance
