A working spouse or partner affects an employee’s willingness to relocate. When relocating an employee, your goal is to place talent where you need it. The employee’s goal is to preserve income and maintain quality of life. Offering employment counseling and job-search support for a partner can encourage an employee toward a positive decision.
Make our consultants your strongest allies.
The H.S. Group consultants have a solid reputation for addressing the unique challenges relocating spouses and partners face. Often tasked with setting up the new household while simultaneously conducting their own job search, relocating partners have a special need for someone who can be attentive to stresses and challenges – especially as your employee focuses attention on the new job. Partnering with an experienced, well-networked consultant and dedicated staff of professionals highly committed to helping them succeed, relocating partners can tap into expertise that includes advice on business start-up and nontraditional employment.
Companies often bring in our consultants to meet with an employee and his or her partner during the decision-making stage, providing them a glimpse of resources that will be available to them during the relocation and assisting in sorting through the options before them. The key to being successful in partner relocation assistance is using all the career transition skills and tools available to build and cultivate a network in the new location.
The H.S. Group’s Dual Career Relocation Program typically includes:
- Assessments to match the relocating partner with the most appropriate consultant
- Transition planning and job search preparation
- Career evaluation, decision making and strategy alignment
- Professional resumé development
- Online Career Portal access
- Market research and target employer list development
- Formal marketing plan development and technique training
