Summer is a popular season for moving because kids are out of school; so typically, it\u2019s easier for families to make major transitions during this time. When relocating workers, employers seek to make the passage to new frontiers as easy as possible to maintain employee satisfaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re scheduling employee relocations during peak season, here are four keys to ensure a positive move experience for your transferees without creating unnecessary stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading advgb-dyn-52b0538c\">Consider Moving Staff During the Off-Season<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>More agreeable weather also makes Spring and Summer the top choices for scheduling corporate moves. Knowing household goods movers will be in high demand during this time, it is important to proactively look at ways to avoid delays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One way to reduce moving related stress it to hire relocation services during non-peak months instead. Scheduling moves from October through March may also lead to cost savings as there is less demand for movers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading advgb-dyn-adf7c1e1\">Be Aware of High-Demand Dates and Times<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If the needs of your business dictate a corporate move during peak season, here are some tips to keep things running smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group add-margin-left is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow advgb-dyn-82141e05\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Book on weekdays because weekends are the most desirable days for moving.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Book mid-month as the beginning and end of each month usually see the greatest demand.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Try to schedule before Memorial Day or after Labor Day for more availability.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Book your relocation company as far in advance as possible, preferably months in advance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Flexibility is important when navigating relocations at this time of year, so scheduling afternoon time slots instead of coveted morning slots may be another way to find more availability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading advgb-dyn-d398f0ac\">Think Outside the Box<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditional van lines aren\u2019t always able to be flexible or adaptable enough to meet demand during the busiest times of the year. Fortunately, there are international and domestic relocation companies that provide alternative solutions, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/sterlingmovesolutions.com\/resources\/containerized-shipments-a-cost-effective-alternative-for-moving-household-goods\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">containerized shipping<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Containerized shipments save an average of 36% in transit time. Typically used for smaller shipments below 5,000 pounds, this option is growing in popularity for a number of reasons. Faster transit times mitigate per-diem expenses and help employees transition faster, so they can get up and running in their new roles as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading advgb-dyn-b1f6b058\">Get Advice from a Corporate Relocation Specialist<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Trying to navigate employee relocations on your own during the busiest time of year can be stressful, but you can easily tap into the expertise of a well-established supply chain expert. The highly skilled consultants at Suddath use their expertise, paired with real-time data and insights to carefully design a personalized move for each employee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Need help optimizing costs and transit times?
