New York City Relocation Services

Choosing Relocation Services in New York City

Moving to Manhattan should be an exhilarating experience for your employees, from discovering New York style pizza and exploring its vibrant street life to mastering the subway. But, no matter how you slice it, moving ranks right up there as one of life’s most stressful events—particularly when it’s a move to a huge, complex city like The Big Apple.

Getting to know New York City takes time. For starters, there are 53 neighborhoods in Manhattan, each with its own subculture—not to mention the surrounding boroughs and suburbs. So, how does a relocating employee determine their best match, especially from afar? Or, find the best schools? Learn the best way to commute? And…does the city truly never sleep?

Of course, you’re invested in providing your people with a smooth, successful relocation experience. You may already offer a generous lump-sum relocation allowance. But your New York-bound employees need more than that!

They’ll need help handling the many logistics associated with moving, starting with access to vetted realtors, movers and other moving-related suppliers. They also need a real-world primer on life in New York City, so they can make smart choices and get the most for out of their relocation benefit dollars.

When HR Handles Corporate Relocation Services

Many companies rely on their HR department to handle relocations, but this is rarely the ideal solution. Case in point:

Recruiting, onboarding, benefits, payroll…most HR departments have very full plates already. On top of all that, do you really want to saddle them with nitty-gritty, time-sensitive tasks like identifying New York’s top realtors or best van lines?
Unless your HR pros are experts on moving logistics, they face a steep learning curve. Managing relocations requires specialized skills—and you can’t afford to have details fall through the cracks.
Even if your HR person hails from the City of Dreams, should she be held responsible for making your employees’ New York relocation dreams come true?

For all these reasons, partnering with a next-generation relocation management company like UrbanBound offers a better solution for relocation services in New York.
