Does the thought of healthcare relocation send a shiver up your spine? As a healthcare talent professional, you know what you're looking for, but finding the right person is just the beginning. Adding the stress of ensuring that person is excited about their new location and has a great relocation experience is where it gets more difficult.

You’ve been tasked with one of the most important responsibilities in the world - hiring and relocating healthcare heroes - don’t you think they should receive an “out of this world” relocation experience so they can focus more on the amazing opportunity ahead of them and not the move to get them there? 

So do we! We’ve put together a few healthcare relocation tips on how you can offer better relocation assistance to your healthcare professionals and sell them on their new location without adding stress to you or them.

Real Estate Needs

So they’ve accepted the position, they’re packing for their move, but where are they going to live? Finding a new home can be extremely challenging, especially now. Assisting your relocating healthcare professional in finding the right place can take a lot of stress and anxiety away from moving. 

This doesn’t have to be as difficult as it sounds. Helping with real estate needs could simply be putting together a list of reliable sites such as Zillow, Realtor.com or Neighborhood Scout. You could also help by connecting your relocating employee with a trusted real estate agent in your area. 

For an even smoother employee relocation experience, consider offering temporary housing benefits or home-finding trips as part of your relocation package. During this time they can use your recommended professionals and/or housing sites to expedite their housing search.
