MORRIS PLAINS, N.J. - Through its landmark research
report, Mobility and the Current Real
Estate Market, Weichert Relocation Resources Inc. (WRRI), one of the
world’s leading relocation and assignment management companies, identified how
over 200 North American corporations are fortifying their workforce mobility
programs against real estate and economic challenges. To help HR and corporate
relocation professionals translate this data into practical strategies for
their own organizations and industries, WRRI has launched a series of
industry-specific “virtual benchmarking” web seminars.
“The goal
of these seminars is to empower corporate relocation professionals to more
effectively communicate current trends and market realities to senior
leadership, as well as the employees who make up their global workforce,” said
Jim Schneider, WRRI’s Senior Vice President. “Most importantly, we want
participants to learn new and innovative ways to enrich their programs and
control their relocation costs.”
Each
session offers a detailed analysis of the results of WRRI’s Mobility and the Current Real Estate Market
survey, filtered to the targeted industry sector so that participants
understand how peer companies are responding. There is also an interactive
forum component, allowing participants to seek answers to specific program
concerns, discuss mutual challenges and forecast trends.
“Today’s economic pressures have forced most
companies to cut back on their travel budgets, limiting opportunities for
corporate relocation professionals to get out of the office and interact with
their peers,” said Ellie Sullivan, WRRI’s Director of Consulting. “Our virtual
benchmarking sessions enable this valuable interaction at no cost, making it
incredibly easy to engage industry peers and discover how they’re tackling
similar workforce mobility challenges, without having to leave the office.”
Upcoming
industry-specific benchmarking sessions include:
