The survey includes insights into the challenges of transferring employees from low-cost to high-cost locations, as well as other talent mobility considerations related to the relocation process.

Specific policy topics in the survey include:

  • Home finding trip
  • Home sale and purchase
  • Lease cancellation
  • Tax assistance
  • Temporary living
  • Transportation and storage of household goods
  • And more
