Long-term international assignments are a major life change for an assignee and a big investment for the organisation sending them.

However, rising costs, changing employee expectations and sustainability issues are reshaping how companies support long-term international moves – from what gets shipped to how families settle in, relocation policies are evolving fast.

ECA's International Relocation Benefits Survey captures how organisations support and pay for the relocation of employees on long-term international assignments to ensure they start well, and explores how organisations worldwide are adapting to make relocation smoother, smarter, and more flexible.

Participants receive a complimentary copy of the survey report as well as exclusive acces to the detailed results, enabling them to compare and align their approach with best practice in the industry.

The survey covers the following key areas:

• Flexible benefits and lump sums
• Travel to/from the assignment country
• Look-see visits
• Temporary accommodation
• Shipping and storage
• Relocation leave
• Settling-in and clothing allowances
• Orientation and briefing services
• Housing and immigration support
• Car disposal
• Early termination procedures
