How Relocation Can Boost Your Diversity & Inclusion Programs

When a job is posted in another location there may be many internal candidates who are qualified for the position but may feel like they don’t have the financial means to move to the new location. While the position might offer a higher compensation package once in the role it doesn’t help the candidates who need financial assistance upfront. The lack of relocation assistance on a job posting may be resulting in denying a percentage of the internal workforce opportunities to improve their role within the company.

Budget friendly relocation packages can be the answer to overcoming this challenge. Offering benefits such as closing costs on selling a home, deposits for renting an apartment, and the transportation of household goods can help an organization become more equitable in their talent management and diversity programs.

Further, not only will an employee relocation program help foster a culture of growth and development, but it has also been used strategically for increasing employee engagement and retention across the organization.
