Should we run relocation in-house or outsource it to an agency?
Updated
In-house works when HR has a clear process and tools for the main destinations; an agency adds value for new countries, complex family cases or high volume. Many companies keep the routine in-house and use an agency for the rest.
In detail
- Volume and number of destinations.
- Who owns the employee experience.
- Cost per case against internal time.
- Visibility for leadership either way.
