C/HR/198. A strategy to help employees relocate with the company

ABC Ltd decided to relocate its operations to a new site outside the city centre. The employees are understandably concerned and some of more skilled staff members have already started to look for new jobs. The paper presents a fictitious report by the HR director to the ABC board of managers outlining a strategy that will enable the company to relocate but continue to achieve its employee relations objectives. The problems faced by employees are identified, and suggestions are outlines for how these might be overcome, including suggestions of how to secure the support of other managers for the strategy.
