Regional Market Outlook on Change Management Services
Engagement Strategies for Office Relocation Services
- A hybrid supplier engagement approach is an upcoming strategy, which helps the buyer to maintain good employee experience with increased visibility in costs and policy exceptions
- Companies with an annual relocation transfer volume greater that 300 follow a frequent bid schedule with suppliers every three years
- Companies with a higher number of annual relocations usually follow certain bid cycles for soliciting bids from service providers
- The frequency of the bid not only depends on the annual transfer volume, but also on the existing supplier performance
- Supplier performance is measured, in terms of global employee mobility experience, assignee satisfaction, updating technological capabilities, ability to reduce cost, better compliance, and consistent application of policy conditions
Supplier Engagement Types
Host Model Approach
A consultant is positioned in the host country, as the primary point of coordination for the assignee. As major activities and services are in the host country, the majority of the time is spent by the consultant on preparing an assignment in the host country
Origin Service Delivery Approach
Relocations will be managed by the business unit in the original location. For example, a relocation from China to the UK will be coordinated by the business unit in China.
Hybrid Approach
One consultant in the home country starts the process and then hands it over midway to a consultant in the host region.
Centralized Approach
There is a single point of contact for every buyer (usually the account manager) who takes care of all tracking, reporting, and direct liaison with the buyer, usually executed by the global account manager.
