an over-all-service, consisting mainly of the following: taking care of and giving assistance and advice to relocation clients, helping them to get settled and to take some roots in their new environment. Most clients are managerial personnel of international companies, affected by job rotation and the like.

The Relocation Service is booked ...

almost exclusively by companies and firms operating on an international or world-wide scale, with orders to assist in rotating, developping or replacing their personnel.

by being linked to TIRA - The International Relocation Associates. Ordering customers and their transferees have the advantage of dealing with ONE over-all contact, taking care of the whole operation. Thus all phases of planning as well as national and international coordination, at home and overseas are in one reliable hand.

Some focal points of the service are ...

searching for suitable housing facilities in the new location. Organizing the move itself. Obtaining permits and clearances from local authorities. And last not least: providing a cross-cultural-briefing to make for a quick and smooth integration in the private sector

is an efficient transfer with a minimum of friction and "red tape". This not only results in a substantial cost cutting, but may also make the difference between success and failure to the whole transfer operation. The value of a specific information briefing in the fore-field of transfers as well as sound continued support in the new location are important factors to ensure success of the operation. Increased work motivation and high grade of efficiency soon after the transfer are among the most common results of the service. Understandably, it is not easy to show this in terms of cash on the balance sheet, but experience shows convincingly the very positive trend.

For the benefit of transferees and their families ...

Relocation Services Ruth Stolle will gladly answer any questions appertaining to the transfer and take care of all re-settlement problems that might occur. With their specialized knowledge and experience in this field they make sure that the transferee is free to concentrate on the requirements of his job, immediately.

For transferees and their families coming to Baden-Württemberg from abroad or overseas, Relocation Services Ruth Stolle, working in cooperation with TIRA - The International Relocation Associates, offer cross-cultural-seminars. These seminars may be held in the home country prior to transfer or alternatively in the "host country" at the location of the prospective new establishment, when making a "pre-transfer visit". Anyway, these seminars give invaluable information and details of the prospective country, preparing the ground and providing motivation for the move.

Our success ...

can be seen in the satisfaction of our transferees and their families. We have successfully realized this goal by providing personalized assistance for each transferee and his or her family. Over the last years we successfully relocated numerous families to the business centers of Baden-Württemberg and Sachsen/Sachsen Anhalt. The positive feedback from the companies as well as from the transferred families has proven that our services significantly help the transferee to reduce the initial tension inherently involved in international relocations.
