80% of candidates cite relocation support as key when accepting a job role

The global workforce is changing more radically and rapidly than ever before; especially with the next generation of the millennial workforce now coming of age. For the past eight years, Deloitte Global has looked inside the minds of millennials to better understand what makes them tick. One of their key findings was that Millennials prioritize experiences over traditional success markers. 57% of the workforce said they want to travel and get to experience new places, cultures and work environments.

So if the majority of the workforce is open to taking up job roles around the world how do you attract the very best of this talent to your organisation. PRELO, a tech-driven employee relocation company might just have the silver bullet. They have found that 80% of those who are open to discussing a new role cite ‘relocation support’ as a key element when deciding whether to accept or not.

Key in the decision-making process for candidates

Speaking at their official rebrand event in London, CEO of Dublin headquartered PRELO; Tommy Courtney says “Unless you are a senior level management there have been a limited amount of resources available in the market to help employees move from one city to another, something that we have found to be key in the decision making process for candidates selecting their new role. I am a firm believer that relocation support shouldn’t be top-down and reserved for a select few, but available to all levels within an organisation.”

PRELO is a digital platform that provides employees with the ability to manage their relocation experience; from housemate and home discovery right through to community engagement in their new location. PRELO also provide those relocating with their very own dedicated relocation assistant, who will help the employee throughout the entire relocation process; from finding that perfect place to call home, to connecting you with other like-minded individuals within the PRELO community in your new location.

Tommy continues; “Our aim is simple if an employee feels welcomed, equipped and at ease, in their new environment it is proven that they will settle into their working life more easily making for a happier and more productive employee.”

With the continued rise in popularity of remote work as well as the ‘Digital Nomad’ movement; technologies and services such as those that PRELO offer, which allows workers the ability to effectively work from anywhere in the world, will become a must-have if employers want to continue to attract the very best talent in this ever-changing marketplace.
