Relocation

Relocation or moving is the process of vacating a fixed location (such as a residence or business) and settling in a different one. A move can be to a nearby location within the same neighborhood, a much farther location in a different city, or sometimes a different country. It usually includes packing up all belongings, transferring to the new home, and unpacking, as well as administrative or bureaucratic tasks, such as changing registration data, change of insurance, services etc.

Reasons for relocating

People may be moved to a new location for a variety of reasons:

• Personal reasons (e.g., marriage, retirement, lifestyle)
• Health reasons
• Small or home office-related reasons (e.g., telecommuting)
• Company-related reasons (e.g., a new job or transfer)
• Government or military reasons (e.g., deployment)

Relocation services

Relocation services, employee relocation or workforce mobility include a range of internal business processes to transfer employees, their families, and/or entire departments of a business to a new location. Like other types of employee benefits, these processes are usually administered by human resources specialists within a corporation and outsourced to different types of service providers. Relocation services are not synonymous with moving/relocation companies as not all of these companies offer "relocation services."
