Sibcy Cline Relocation Services will be your employee's liaison with corresponding experts to ensure all required financial details are provided in order to file the appropriate taxes in the home and host countries, and to ensure the correct immigration paperwork is filed and received before departure to allow for smooth entry into the employee's new country. Today's internationally mobile workforce needs to be ready to do business around the globe, and often with little time to prepare. Sibcy Cline Relocation can coordinate programs customized to provide international managers and expatriate families with the necessary knowledge, tools and strategies to effectively adapt and function in a diverse cultural environment. Research has shown that the inability to adapt to the host culture is among the most cited reasons for relocation failure. Let the Sibcy Cline Relocation Services team match your relocating employee with the intercultural training they need to achieve business success. Sibcy Cline Relocation Services knows that finding housing and schools in the new location can be stressful, but a good experience makes adjusting to the new location much easier. The Sibcy Cline Relocation team partners with local destination experts around the globe to assist with area orientation, housing, schools, transportation, utility set-up, and settling-in services to help the expatriate feel more at home in the host country. Returning home is often seen as the easy part at the end of the assignment, but it still requires coordination to ensure an employee has a smooth homecoming. Sibcy Cline Relocation Services will coordinate departure services in the host location, arrange temporary housing and repatriation-cultural training in the home country if necessary, and facilitate a house-hunting trip if returning to a different city in the home country. From small air shipments to large sea shipments, Sibcy Cline Relocation Services will coordinate the shipping estimate, the packing and loading of your employee's belongings in the home country, and the delivery in the host country. In an ever-changing world, the global workforce can have particular challenges. As organizations focus more on cost-management strategies and the need for increased flexibility for the global workforce, alternative transfer options are becoming more prevalent than the traditional, long- term international assignment. Sibcy Cline Relocation Services has managed employees on short-term assignments, long-term assignments, extended international business travel, and other alternative assignments. The Sibcy Cline Relocation team is available to consult on the assignment type, develop the policy, create the assignment letter, and implement the benefits and processes that will help your employee move smoothly through their international relocation. Economic, social, and technological shifts are affecting how HR handles relocations and Sibcy Cline Relocation Services can be your partner to make each relocation a success. Sibcy Cline Relocation Services can help during the planning process by providing a realistic cost projection for each assignment. Projections can then be used to set relocation budgets and monitor expenses.
