Relocation Services Overseas Employees Company Cases Include Working

International companies and large agencies that have many employees working overseas often offer "relocation services" to their employees to "facilitate" (make easier) their "transition" (change from one situation to another). Sometimes the relocation services are provided by the company or agency itself, but in other cases they are "contracted out to" (performed by) a "third party" (outside; not part of the company) business that specializes in relocation. In some cases, relocation services are provided for "cross-country moves" (moving across the United States) too, not just for international moves.

Relocation services are similar to "moving services" "in that" (because; for example) they make arrangements to move physical "possessions" (things one owns) to a new location. However, relocation services include many additional services. For example, they might help the employee "obtain" (get) the "requisite" (required; necessary) work permit and "visa" (legal permission to live in another country for a period of time). They might also help the employee find a new home and a new school for children. In some cases, relocation services include assistance for helping the employee's "spouse" (husband or wife) find a job in the new location. Relocation services can also include language-learning resources and/or a "tutor" (someone who teachers one student or a small group of students) and cultural "outings" (trips; adventures; visits to important sites).

These relocation services are "quite" (very) expensive. In many cases, companies "find" (discover; realize) that employees in overseas position "end up" (ultimately) costing the company two or three times as much as their "counterparts" (people performing the same job or a similar job) in the United States, simply because the company has to provide so much assistance with relocation.
