Relocation is among the TOP-5 most stressful situations you can experience across a lifespan. Its more than physical exhaustion and logistics, it’s also about leaving places and loved once behind. You become invested, vulnerable and dependant. And certainly, do not mix up traveling with relocating!
TRAVELING is like an Appetizer
RELOCATION is like a pre-set 7 course menu.

Relocation with all its facets...
There are so many reasons to relocate...
..and dreams must be lived
while you have the energy to do so!"
You might be somewhere between 18+ and 80+ and about to relocate for your love, next career move, realising a dream, change in scenery or you simply wish to spend your retirement elsewhere?
Careful, do not mix up traveling with relocating.
TRAVELING is like an Appetizer - RELOCATION is like a pre-set 7 course menu, which is sometimes difficult to digest.
It will be more than packing up your house, checklists and flight itinerary. It’s facing culture shock, change in lifestyle, getting out of your comfort zone, learning a new language and adapt to frugality. If you move with your family, it might be challenging for your spouse who might have given up the career and has to re-invent herself or your kids which need to be prepared for a new life.
Fact is: Relocation is among the TOP-5 most stressful situations you can experience across a lifespan. It's more than physical exhaustion and logistics, it’s also about leaving places and loved once behind. You become invested, vulnerable and dependant.
...but head over heals? Thats's a bad advice!

...HR-Teams
Relocation ist mehr als nur ein Umzug. "Reisen ist wie eine Vorspeise, während Relocation oft einem 7-Gänge-Menü gleicht – aufregend, aber manchmal schwer zu verdauen."
Warum mit Relocation-Experten zusammenarbeiten?
Internationale Unternehmen kooperieren häufig mit spezialisierten Relocation-Firmen wie uns, um diesen komplexen Prozess in die Hände von Experten zu legen. So bleibt Berufliches und Privates getrennt, und jeder kann sich auf seine Kernaufgaben konzentrieren, mit dem Ziel:
- Optimierung der Ressourcen und Effizienzsteigerung
- Reibungslose Integration und höhere Mitarbeiterzufriedenheit
- Reduzierung von Fluktuation und Verbesserung der Mitarbeiterbindung
- Nutzen Sie unser Fachwissen und Erfahrung
- Stressreduktion und Zufriedenheit mit individuellen Lösungen.
Der Fachkräftemangel ist eine Realität, und wenn Unternehmen keine inländischen Mitarbeiter finden können, müssen sie aus dem Ausland rekrutieren. Doch was bedeutet das für die Personalabteilung? HR-Teams stehen mit der Anstellung ausländischer Fachkräfte vor einer riesigen Herausforderung, die weit über den reinen Anstellungsprozess hinausgeht.
Kontaktieren Sie mich unverbindlich für ein erstes Gespräch. Gemeinsam finden wir die maßgeschneiderte Relocation-Lösung, die Ihrem Unternehmen am besten entspricht und eine reibungslose, angenehme Integration Ihrer internationalen Fachkräfte und deren Familien sicherstellt.

About the book "Your Relocation" on Amazon
Moving countries can be stressful and challenging, especially when trying to organize things at your destination. Now, add to that, BREXIT, a global pandemic with travel restrictions and no German language skills, and I had the ingredients for a relocation nightmare… That’s if I didn’t have Claudia Doron of epm (empower people in motion) as my Relocation Agent.
Hilti, my employer introduced me to Claudia at the start of my relocation from the UK to Switzerland. She is friendly, an excellent communicator, and is passionate about what she does. It shows in her approach to every task she undertakes including, her speed of response to questions. Connecting remotely over WhatsApp, she found me a great apartment that met all my criteria, supported my quarantine plans (including internet, rental furniture, and groceries), my registration at the town hall, and provided me with contacts for my health insurance and banking needs, from the amazing network she’s built with reputable local businesses. Thank you, Claudia, for making my relocation very smooth and easy.
