Supporting Lifestyle Continuity

You’ve got employees you want (or need) to relocate. For your company, it may be a business necessity – either for growth or to reallocate your resources. For your employee, however, it’s a different story: relocating will mean leaving their friends, extended family members, and all the elements of the life they’ve built – all to start over again in the new place. For many people, this is the challenging part of relocation.

Lifestyle Continuity: What is it?

These are the types of things Sara will need to find after she moves – hence the phrase “lifestyle continuity” to describe that she will need to find new doctors, someone who will continue her children’s braces, activities for the kids to help them meet new friends, afternoon care services, and a health club for her physical fitness routine.

Why does Lifestyle Continuity matter?

Lifestyle continuity services help relocating employees and their family gain familiarity and comfort with their new community, which can help make the relocation process go more smoothly. In addition, such services save your employees valuable work time and avoids the problem of presenteeism on the job. If Sara doesn’t have to figure out how to fit in the task of finding new physicians and interviewing after-school providers to obtain basic preliminary information, she’ll have more time to focus when she’s at work.

How can we provide such services?

Vandover’s Lifestyle Resource Assistance has helped employees like Sara as they move around the United States and the world. From “typical” needs such as locating physicians and health clubs to specialty items such as disc golf, Suzuki piano teachers, or salons that specialize in African American hair care – no matter what your employee needs – our research team dedicates itself to finding the best solutions.
