The Hidden Costs of Relocating Employees: Corporate Strategies for Reducing Loss from Relocation Stress
Relocating the best employees is a common practice that just makes sense. What does not make good business sense is accepting the ongoing hidden costs of this practice. As many as one-third of moves do not go well resulting in increased turnover rates, increased time off, increased health insurance costs, and decreased productivity.
Our user-friendly book entitled, “The Hidden Costs of Relocating Employees: Corporate Strategies for Reducing Loss from Relocation Stress” explores the key personal, social and environmental factors that can affect how well your new hires/transfers and their family members are likely to fare during and after the move.
Just as important, this book offers practical, effective insights, strategies and techniques for your company trainers, managers, and HR professionals to utilize to assure that your new employees and their family members not only survive the move, but actually thrive from it—thereby greatly improving the return on your company’s investment.

Stranger in a Strange Land: Strategies for Adapting After a Move
A big part of the reason people can have serious adverse reactions to their physical and psychological well-being following a move has to do with difficulties adjusting and acclimating to their new environment. A failure to launch into acclimation can be particularly striking in cases where people move from an urban environment to a rural one (or vice-versa), or move to a different region of the U.S. (for example from the east coast to the west coast or southern states) move to a different country, or even move to a different part of the state that has different cultural and social norms and mores than they are accustomed. This book offers proven strategies, tools and techniques needed to successfully navigate the new and unfamiliar social, cultural and environmental obstacles and become “one of the locals”.
A perfect gift for the friend, coworker, client or family member preparing to move to a completely new environment.
