Employee Counselling

These consultants are your employees’ resource for all communication and services relating to their move, and coordinate the delivery of all authorised services. Regardless of the service being delivered (temporary housing, moving services, etc.), the employee can rely on the consultant as their go-to resource to address any concerns.

VIP Services

If you are searching for an enhanced service for your employees, SIRVA offers VIP services such as personal relocation assistants, in-home cleaning services, personalised family assistance, and many other tailored and luxury enhancements.

Duty of care, historically defined as an organisations responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of its employees, has evolved since the COVID-19 pandemic. Duty of care is moving beyond compliance and safety to also include contingency planning and support for globally mobile employees when a traditional path will not suffice.

With an ever-increasing list of socio-political disrupters, such as tax and immigration changes, civil or social unrest, natural disasters, supply chain issues and health crises, to name a few, having viable contingency strategies in place are more critical than ever to mobilising key talent around the world.
