Guide to the Best Times to Move in 2023
You’ve heard the saying “timing is everything”. When it comes to employee moving and relocation, that couldn’t be more true. In fact, the time of year you move an employee may result in your company paying up to 30% more. Moves scheduled during the moving industry’s traditional “busy season” present other challenges to both relocating employees and the mobility professionals responsible for ensuring them a smooth transition to the next exciting phase of their career. And challenges often include surprises for both the relocation professional and the employee – and not always the good kind.
The best way to avoid unexpected surprises and make the moving experience a smooth and positive one for the employee is planning. A well-planned household goods move usually produces a better moving experience. A key aspect of this is selecting the move date. By keeping in mind which days are most in-demand, you will be able to schedule your moves on days that have more availability of trucking capacity, moving providers, and other moving-relating services.
To support you in your planning efforts, northAmerican Van Lines ® has created its Guide to the Best Times to Move in 2023, which includes a calendar that contains tips, helpful reminders, and color-coded days that classify dates as ideal, busy, and busiest. Regardless of how your employees are moving, whether via a lump sum or a full-service corporate relocation program, scheduling moves for less impacted dates can make a move go more smoothly.
