We were the first to move a transcontinental shipment; we were the first to build an all steel warehouse; we were the first to offer a true guaranteed price. Now we are the first to offer you a winning solution for your corporate transferees, enCompass, “the evolution of relocation”.
As a human resource professional, you are challenged with the task of relocating employees and new hires. Bekins understands the investment you are making. Most companies have relocation programs in place for full relocation benefits, but due to budgetary constraints; it is not cost effective to offer a full relocation package to all of your transferees. Research has shown that more and more corporations are turning to a direct reimbursement solution or lump sum programs for relocations. To address this trend, we have developed enCompass.
The benefits of enCompass are vast. Your employees take ownership of the relocation process which leads to greater employee satisfaction. Your company enjoys cost savings and simplified administration. There is no contact required; therefore there are fewer policy exceptions. In addition, you are able to access reports needed to manage your lump sum programs effectively and keep track of relocation expenses without added expense.
enCompass empowers your transferees who receive a lump sum or direct reimbursement to coordinate and manage their own relocation. enCompass offers transferees a myriad of relocation benefits, but without a contract. This means your employee can get the relocation services they want and need, but at no cost or obligation to the corporation. Relocation can be a daunting task to a transferee. Put your transferees mind at ease by using enCompass. Once a budget is set for the relocation, enCompass provides them with an experienced relocation “coach” able to assist them with every aspect of their relocation. Through our partnership with the FAS Relocation Network, transferees have access to a full menu of relocation options that they may need throughout the relocation process from pre-move services, origin assistance and full destination support such as:
With enCompass, we make your job easier and maximize employee satisfaction. The lump sum employee is getting a full-range of services that they typically would not be eligible for, with no added cost to your bottom line.
We believe enCompass is a valuable program to help relocating families get the services they need and assistance they want during the moving process.
