The Value of Having a Dedicated Move Coordinator

May 2025

The experience your employees have with your company is incredibly important to attracting and retaining the top talent. This experience starts with the interview and hiring process, and extends to the day-to-day interactions they will have with their co-workers, partners and customers, during their tenure with your company.

One area where the employee experience is especially important is in cases where the employee either must relocate to join the company, or they have decided to move to take on a new role and responsibilities within the company. A dedicated move coordinator can help the employee’s relocation process go more smoothly by:

1. Serving as a single point of contact during the relocation, which can reduce the burden on a business’ human resources and/or administrative staff.
2. Identifying needs and requirements, starting with a pre-move consultation to gather details including the location information (i.e. type of residence, special requirements such as gates and stairs) and specialized services (i.e. packing, vehicle transport).
3. Addressing expectations about the timing of the move, resources that are available to assist, any requirements unique to the relocation, and any concerns the employee may have regarding the move.
4. Taking care of necessary administrative tasks such as scheduling resources for the move and ordering packing materials.
5. Communicating with all parties involved throughout the entire move process to ensure that processes are being followed and the move is being executed as smoothly as possible.

Ultimately, a dedicated move coordinator can reduce both stress and the time the employee needs to dedicate to the move, so that they can settle into their new role as quickly as possible, once they arrive at their new location.
