Why Employee Relocation Packages Should Include Pet Transport Benefits

 

Relocation benefits can be expensive. You’ve hired the perfect candidate to fill the role, and it’s time to negotiate a relocation package with your new employee. Not only can moving be costly, but it can be stressful for your new hire as well. Depending on where he/she currently lives, some considerations included in your package may assist with selling their home, finding a new residence to purchase or rent, and helping with furniture removal and relocation. A pet relocation package, in some cases, isn’t included in your benefits.  Perhaps it is too costly for your organization or not considered necessary.  Other times, your organization may not want to assume the liability of transporting an animal.  Either way, any or all of the above may apply, in addition to reasons I may not have touched on here.
