Supporting Services: Safe & Sound Relocation

The last few months have seen unprecedented developments and changes to our everyday lives, our health and the global economy.  So much of what we had taken for granted has been affected.  We have seen heroism from the most assuming of sources and government institutions rush to help support those in need.   As we all continue our efforts to combat the impact of Covid-19, it is vital that we balance essential precautions with essential functionality.  Strengthening the economy will help provide jobs and fund services to help those in need.  As Dubai, and the UAE, tentatively progresses towards reopening, many companies will soon be in a position to facilitate returning employees or relocating fresh talent.  To make sure they can do that safely and smoothly, EER has designed a new service, Safe & Sound.

Relocation in 2020

Employee relocation is far more complicated since the onset of Covid-19.  Each country not only has a different approach to immigration, borders and quarantine, but they keep evolving as the situation continues.  It is vital that relocation providers like EER are able to remain flexible enough to accommodate the necessary precautions and rules as they happen.  If your company is in a position to grow or expand, you need to be able to do that as smoothly as possible.  At EER we are equipped with the expertise, network and information to provide the most efficient relocation service that complies with all of the regulatory measures, both locally and internationally.   Your business success is good for the economy, which is good for everyone; so we don’t want anything to get in your way.

Staying Safe and Staying Informed

The key to navigating our current situation is being able to access and rely on accurate information.  Assignees, their families and the company need to be able to know the rules and restrictions that will impact their movement and actions.  The EER Safe & Sound service is designed to simplify the relocation process while accommodating all of the necessary steps and procedures.  It is impossible to predict what particular elements will be required over the next few months, so EER is focused on providing dedicated support that can quickly adapt to new guidelines and ensure the safest approach for everyone.  Our flexible and comprehensive Safe and Sound service will mean that every aspect is taken care of to the highest standards, so you and your company don’t have to worry.

How it Works

The Safe & Sound service is centred on assisting business travellers, assignees and their families with relocation and mobility to a host county and ensuring compliance with any self-isolation requirements that might be in place.  Having assessed the requirements, a dedicated Relocation Account Manager will be appointed as a single point of contact for the assignee throughout the entire process.  Depending on which requirements are in place at the time, EER can arrange temporary accommodation, transfers, supplies and more throughout the duration.  They will also be available to answer any questions, provide updates and facilitate any necessary healthcare.  If the assignee, returning employee or business traveller is required to complete a period of self-isolation on arrival, EER will also ensure their accommodation is furnished with a range of elements that will help including:

• Hygiene kits including masks, gloves and sanitizers
• Full accommodation sanitisation, including linens and towels
• Provisions on arrival and regular grocery deliveries
• A wellness kit including recipes, exercise routines and a meditation guide
• A comprehensive list of relevant contact numbers, essential information and location guides with the latest instructions on movement and contact

Essentially, EER will make sure that our team is able to assist your company and its employees no matter what.  We will remain up-to-date on all the regulations and requirements so that we can advise you on the best course of action and assist you with it implementation.   We will be ready so you can feel confident every step of the way.
