Whether you are relocating to a new city, state, or country, it is one of the most rewarding and challenging experiences. It takes a lot of courage and work to uproot yourself from the existing set-up, known people, friends, and family. While it gives you a fresh start, salary hike, or a job that satisfies you, it can be daunting too. Let us help you become a relocation expert.
So, if you are committed to moving somewhere that is no longer your hometown, there are a few things that you should consider. However, if you follow the WHR Group four easy steps for job relocating, you will make the entire process a success. But before we divulge these four steps, let’s investigate some figures about job relocation.
転勤に関する統計数字
1,000人を対象に実施した転勤に関するアンケートでは、次のようなことが明らかになりました。
- 3%はより高収入の仕事やキャリアアップのために転居している。
- 5%は家庭を持つために転勤を希望
- 1%は既存の会社内で別の場所に移動した
- 2％が引越しの理由を雑多と回答
- 7%は事業所や会社の移転が理由で移転した
- 2％ 企業買収に伴う転勤
According to Business News Daily a company is likely to spend between $21,3127 and $24,913 on you for a relocation. This can go higher for homeowners between $61,622 and $79,429.
While both the figures are significant, as an employee you have earned these expenses. So, whether you are job relocating as a newly hired employee or an existing one, the process needs to be handled carefully. If anything goes wrong, you will not only end up paying more, but your employer might refuse to bear the extra cost. The best way to combat this hassle is for your company to hire a professional employee relocation company like WHR Group, Inc. (WHR), and outsource the whole process.

Four Easy Steps To Become Job Relocation Expert
It is exciting to get a promotion or a new position in a new city, state, or country. But making a move can be quite a hassle, mainly if your employer has set an aggressive deadline. While there is no such timeline as to how much time a company will give you to relocate, according to an HR service company, AB Personnel Services, typically, the time is between 2 and 4 weeks. So, how to move within these few weeks efficiently? The simple answer is you need a plan of action, and or the help of a professional relocation program service. Follow these four simple steps.
ステップ1: 予算を立てる
新天地への引っ越しで大きなストレスになるのは、物流とそれに伴う出費です。その対策としては、まず起こりうる費用をリストアップし、予算を立てることです。リストには、以下を含めるとよいでしょう。
- House hunting in the new place, consider BVO vs. GBO potentially
- 賃貸の解約または現住居の売却
- 新居の敷金・頭金
- 光熱費、ケーブルテレビ、インターネットなどの閉鎖費用およびセットアップ費用。
- 新規什器備品及び新規什器備品費用
- 新居を修理したり、グレードアップする可能性がある場合の費用
- 引越し費用
Even a rough estimate will help you in understanding the upfront cost of relocating. However, if you find doing it by yourself hard since doing all the research can be time-consuming, find a professional like WHR Group who will help you with the budget and other logistics of moving.
ステップ2：長期的な支出を検討する
After you have finished with your initial budgeting, it’s time for you to dig into a bit more details about the new place. First, you must review the cost of living in that place and the taxes. Investigate a COLA for your move.
Cost of Living: Even if you are getting a job relocation package for moving, you must weigh in on the cost of living in the new city. There will be a substantial change in the living cost even if you move to a similar size city. You can hire a professional who can give you a cost of living estimate in the new place.
Taxes: One of the biggest botherations is the requirement to file partial-year tax in both the places, i.e., the place you lived and the place you relocated. This can be quite a challenge when there is a different income tax rate, policy, and regulation. Consult with a professional to know how much you must set aside for taxes while relocating.

ステップ3: 移転支援を依頼する
Generally, an employer will provide you with relocation assistance. However, in case you are not aware of it, ask for help and do not be afraid of negotiating. The best way to negotiate with the employer is to be ready with the details like moving costs. Get quotations from professional movers for household goods, transport expenses, storage, and temporary housing. Getting this information and presenting it to your employer can be crucial in getting relocation support.
また、その企業が使用する優先的な引越し業者を尋ねることもできます。時には、引っ越しの払い戻しが、その会社の好みの専門家を使うことを条件とすることがあります。
Step 4: Know the Relocation Benefits Available To You
多くの組織が、従業員向けにリロケーションサービスを提供しています。どのようなサービスが受けられるか調べてみましょう。家探しの旅費が戻ってきたり、賃貸物件探しを手伝ってもらったり、配偶者のキャリア支援を受けられることもあります。
もう一つの利点は、移転の際に所得税が一部免除されることです。この払い戻しを受けられる人には規則や規範がありますが、それを知って利用することは非常に有益なことです。
