First Point of Contact
The evolvement of the concept of
relocation depends upon the outcome of the initial consultation
and information exchange between the HR Department of a company
and the AIMS Relocation Consultant. During this phase various pertinent
matters will be discussed regarding the Company's expatriate policies,
procedures, budgets and management requirements etc. The above helps
as the management requirements may alter with respect to each specific
relocation.
Upon confirmation of an assignment, a Clients'
Need Analysis (CNA) is sent to the employee being relocated prior
to his departure. Through CNA an attempt is made to get an insight
about the requirements of the transferee e.g. his personal preferences
and expectations, choice and size of home, school and sporting facilities
etc. This helps in making the transfer as smooth as possible.
The first Point of Contact is established between
the AIMS Relocation Consultant and the transferee, which helps the
HR department to concentrate on doing what it does best…taking
care of their people.
