AWARDS
BEST RELOCATION MANAGEMENT COMPANY
MSI Global Talent Solutions N
ew for 2015/16, this award recognises the strategic partnership between a relocation management company and its corporate clients, and the
contribution that RMCs make to mobility, supporting business growth, moving talent, and maximising ROI. Winner MSI Global Talent Solutions ticks all these
boxes. It offers an extensive portfolio of domestic relocation and international assignment management services, from programme planning and execution to immigration, talent acquisition, development and mobilisation, HR administration, and compensation and payroll administration. “Although MSI has been a leader in global mobility for 35
years,” explains CEO Timm Runnion, “our capabilities today extend far beyond traditional relocation management. In response to the increasingly complex challenges our mobility clients face with regard to globalisation, shifting economies, and compliance issues, plus the growing need to invest in critical talent, we now provide an end-to-end solution for improving mobility management and talent success within our client organisations. “The result is significantly reduced risk, greater cost
savings, and improved productivity.” MSI also serves as a knowledge resource for its clients,
through tax and immigration advisories, news alerts, a blog, white papers, educational workshops, and e-learning webinars accredited by Worldwide ERC and the Society of Human Resource Management. Its annual executive retreat brings clients, leadership and service partners together to discuss current industry trends and best practice. This breadth of offering was recognised by the Re:locate
Awards judges, who said, “We were extremely impressed by the way in which MSI continually reviews and widens its range of services to support its client base. Its entry showed a clear focus on the development of new services to support
global talent growth whilst continuing to provide informative employee data analytics to help clients to streamline their relocation programmes. “It is also a credit to MSI that, as an established relocation
management company, it has been able to retain its flexibility in offering tailored services to meet the specific needs of clients’ relocating executives.”
“Having the ability to work with one firm on immigration and relocation matters makes the entire process much more efficient.”
The judges praised MSI’s integrated approach to service
delivery. An example given in its submission highlighted how an initial request for immigration support had led to significant savings for the client in the areas of tax and social security and reduced the risk of non-compliance – all thanks to the proactive approach of the immigration specialists handling the case. The example was that of a US-based company that
had recently expanded into the UK. It already had several employees on assignment there, and wanted to deploy another. Says Timm Runnion, “We discovered that the company’s
UK entity hadn’t fully complied with immigration requirements for existing assignees, nor had it put in place for them certificates of coverage or tax equalisation policies.
