Employee mobility and relocation
The first week decides whether an assignment works. Somewhere to live, a way to get about, a number that works and someone to ask.
What you receive
- A written arrival plan with dates and a named coordinator
- A mobility tracker covering every permit and card, with staged alerts
- Lease documentation, utilities accounts and asset assignments recorded in one place
- A departure checklist that closes what was opened
Companies spend months choosing the right person, then leave the arrival to chance. They land, go to a hotel, and spend two weeks solving accommodation, connectivity and transport instead of starting work.
We run the arrival as a checklist with a named coordinator, and we run the departure the same way, so that nothing is left behind and nothing is still being paid for after the person has gone.
Housing and settling in
- Housing search and lease coordination for staff
- Viewings, shortlists and landlord negotiation support
- Move-in coordination, utilities and internet connection

Family support

During the assignment
- Mobility tracker: every employee, permit, card and expiry, with alerts at 90, 60, 30 and 7 days
- Passport and document custody arrangements where you instruct them
- Lease administration and renewal tracking
- Transport arrangements, whether a shared shuttle or an assigned driver
- Point of contact for anything that stops working
Departure and repatriation

Where this touches legal work. Visa, work permit and residency applications are formal immigration matters handled by Salt & Associates under a separate engagement, as is any advice on immigration status or employer obligations. We coordinate the practical side of the move and maintain the tracker.
Common questions
Do you arrange visas and residency?
Formal immigration applications are legal and regulatory work and sit with Salt & Associates, engaged separately. We maintain the mobility tracker, prepare and move documents, and coordinate the practical steps around the person.
Can you hold passports?
Only where you instruct us to in writing, under a signed receipt and release register. We will not hold an individual's passport without that instruction and without their knowledge.
How far in advance should we start?
As early as you can. Housing and schools are the two items that cannot be compressed, and both are confirmed by availability rather than by a schedule we control.
