We understand the problems of relocation...
To move people is a little like moving a tree. It can be done, but the shock of being up-rooted without the necessary care and attention often can be traumatic. The cost of transferring or recruiting personnel is very high, and unless employees (and their families) are happy in their new environment, there is a risk that the Company will lose its recruiting and relocation investment.
...and we can solve them!
COMPAS pays attention to the details, provides the nurturing and support that allows your "transplant" to thrive. We ease the difficult process of adjusting to a new city and a different culture, setting the stage for a smooth transition of the family into their new location. We minimize the frustration of finding one's way through the time-consuming maze of government departments, and we stay in touch (for three months) to make sure that the family has the answers to meet its needs. Thereby, employee retention is heightened and your Company's outlay is safeguarded.
As well...
COMPAS, a consulting firm, is available during the preliminary recruiting and interviewing processes for any relocation policy considerations.
COMPAS acts as an extension of the Company's welcoming program,
saves precious hours and departmental time during the adaptation period.
Pre-employment consultation
An essential part of any orientation program is the briefing
process between you (the corporation) and our COMPAS
consultant. COMPAS will prepare a special program of orientation
based upon your guidelines and the needs of the prospective newcomer
and family. When you invite the candidate and spouse to the region for
a pre-employment interview, consider the benefits of:
(i) a meeting with our COMPAS consultant, and
(ii) a guided "mini-orientation" tour of the region.
Your employee is primarily interested in the challenges of the new job and working environment. However, the family is interested in aspects of life such as housing, neighbourhoods, schools, transportation and recreation. The "mini-orientation" tour is designed to provide an overview of the elements of the family's future life. Our objective is to help them come away with a favourable impression and a positive view of the relocation.
In the event that the spouse may also wish to find employment, COMPAS can provide consultation and recommendations.
