2025 Guide to Relocation: Supporting Your Workforce with ARC Relocation

Relocating employees isn’t just about logistics—it’s about supporting people during one of the biggest transitions in their lives. Whether you’re moving one executive or rolling out a company-wide transfer strategy, the stakes are high. As an HR leader, manager, or business owner, you already have enough on your plate.

That’s where we come in.

At ARC Relocation, help organizations of all sizes handle domestic and international employee moves. From the first conversation to the final unpacked box, we’re here to manage the details, reduce your stress, and deliver a seamless experience for your team.

Why Employee Relocation Still Matters in 2025

Remote work hasn’t eliminated the need for relocation—it’s simply changed the reasons behind it. Companies are consolidating offices, entering new markets, or bringing key players closer to headquarters. Others are supporting employees who want to live in different areas while staying with the company.

Relocation is more than just a perk. It’s a strategy for growth, retention, and recruitment, and when you handle it well, it shows employees that you’ve got their back.

The Cost of Getting It Wrong

It’s tempting to manage relocation internally—until something slips through the cracks. One missed form, a delayed shipment, or a surprise tax issue can lead to bigger headaches fast.

That’s why we take a proactive approach. We don’t just react to problems—we help you prevent them. Our team understands the regulations, timing, and human side of relocation. You’ll avoid costly mistakes, improve employee satisfaction, and gain time back to focus on the big picture.

What ARC Relocation Offers

Whether you’re moving one employee or hundreds, ARC customizes the solution to fit your budget, timeline, and employee needs. They take the pressure off internal teams and give your company access to tools and resources that streamline the entire process.

Home Sale and Purchase Support

We connect your employees with vetted agents, coordinate appraisals, and ensure a smooth transaction—whether they’re buying, selling, or both. Our goal is to protect their financial interests while making the transition as painless as possible.

Household Goods Shipping

Coordinating movers, ensuring coverage, handling storage, and tracking shipments is what we do every day. We manage timelines, prevent delays, and work only with trusted carriers.

Temporary Housing

For employees who need a place to stay before settling in permanently, we provide access to short-term, furnished accommodations. These options are comfortable, clean, and ready for individuals or entire families.

Travel and Transportation

From booking flights and rental cars to coordinating airport pickup, we handle travel logistics so employees can focus on getting where they need to go.

International Relocation

Global assignments come with layers of complexity—from immigration paperwork to cultural transitions. We support everything from visa applications and customs clearance to housing and school search assistance.

Reimbursement and Expense Tracking

Our digital tools allow employees to submit receipts and get reimbursed quickly. At the same time, you’ll have visibility into expenses and approvals, all in one place.

Policy Development and Consulting

Not sure if your relocation policy still works for today’s workforce? We’ll help you revise or build one from scratch. Our insights are based on real-time data, benchmarking, and years of hands-on experience.

Spouse and Partner Support

A successful relocation involves more than just the employee. We offer guidance and assistance to spouses and partners—whether that means job search resources, local networking contacts, or help navigating their own transition.

School Search Assistance

For employees with children, choosing the right school can make or break a relocation. We help families evaluate local school districts, understand enrollment timelines, and find educational options that match their priorities.

Destination Services

Arriving in a new city or country involves more than just getting the keys to a new place. We help employees settle in with services like local registration support, utility setup, banking assistance, and neighborhood guidance. We offer destination services to make the transition smooth—so they can feel at home faster and focus on their new role without distractions.

A Personalized Experience for Every Employee

No two relocations are the same, which is why we assign each employee a dedicated relocation counselor—someone who listens, adapts, and supports them throughout the move. Whether someone is relocating alone or with a family, we adjust our services to fit their situation, and when employees feel supported, they arrive ready to perform, not distracted by stress.

Tools That Give You Visibility and Control

Behind the scenes, we offer AI tech and modern integrations that make tracking relocations simple. You’ll be able to:

  • Monitor status updates in real time
  • Approve reimbursements
  • View reporting on spend
  • Access records for compliance

It’s all designed to save you time and reduce back-and-forth communication. Our platform integrates with most HR systems, so you don’t have to change the way you work to benefit from ours.

We Know Federal and Government Relocation

We’ve handled many federal employee relocations, so we understand the rules and expectations that come with those moves. If your business works with government agencies—or hires employees from them—we’re equipped to precisely handle those transitions.

Helping You Stay Compliant With Tax and Legal Requirements

Relocation crosses state lines, borders, and tax zones—which means compliance can’t be an afterthought. From IRS guidelines to local housing regulations, we keep your program aligned with current rules and best practices. We help ensure your relocations meet domestic and international compliance requirements. That includes taxable benefit tracking, withholding guidance, and reporting tools for audit protection.

Supporting Remote-to-Onsite Transitions

As some organizations shift employees back into hybrid or full-time office roles, relocation is playing a big role. Whether it’s incentivizing top talent to move closer to HQ or transferring managers to high-priority regions, these moves are time-sensitive and high-stakes.

We’ve supported companies in planning, budgeting, and managing remote-to-onsite transitions—and we’ll do the same for you. The smoother you make that process, the more likely you are to retain high performers and keep productivity on track.

Personalized Service for Every Employee

No two relocations are the same. That’s why we assign each employee a dedicated relocation counselor—someone who listens, adapts, and supports them throughout the move.

Whether someone is relocating alone or with a family, we adjust our services to fit their situation. And when employees feel supported, they arrive ready to perform, not distracted by stress.

How Relocation Impacts Retention and Engagement

Relocation isn’t just about getting an employee from Point A to Point B—it’s about setting them up for long-term success. The experience your team has during a move often shapes how they feel about your company moving forward. When relocation is poorly managed, it can trigger doubt. Employees might question whether they made the right decision or feel unsupported during a high-stress transition. That stress can carry over into their performance—or lead them to walk away altogether.

We help you prevent that.

Our approach is designed to reduce friction, increase clarity, and build trust. When employees feel confident that you’ve thought through every step of their move, they can focus on their role instead of worrying about logistics. That kind of support goes a long way.

In fact, we regularly hear from HR leaders who say relocation handled well has been the difference in retaining top performers. It’s not just a benefit—it’s part of your employer brand, and in a competitive market, how you manage moments like these can shape how people talk about your company for years to come.

Choosing the Right Relocation Partner

Before you hand over a move to any provider, you should ask:

  • Do they offer both domestic and international support?
  • Can they personalize services based on the employee’s needs?
  • Will you get real-time visibility into costs and timelines?
  • Do they understand tax compliance and legal requirements?
  • Can they scale based on the number of relocations you expect?

We check every one of those boxes—and we’ve built long-term partnerships by doing exactly that.
