The answer lies within a relocation feasibility analysis. The objective of our corporate relocation services is to fully define the risks and rewards of a move in support of a go or no-go decision.
As a corporate relocation services company, our goal is to make sure you make the best decision for your business and specific industry.

Human Resource Impacts
One of WDGC’s strongest analytical capabilities is gauging the HR impacts associated with relocation (both short-distance and long-distance moves).

Commute Impacts
Research Input
- Mapping of Current Employee Population
- Mass Transit and Highway Linkage to Site
- Assigning Most Efficient Mode of Transportation
- Projection of Total Travel Time
- Incremental Travel Time and Cost per Employee
Analytic Result
- Projected Attrition/Retention Based on Individual Employee Commute Impacts and Mobility Indicators
- Attrition Exposure Driven by Combination of:
- Excessive Total Commute Time & Incremental Change
- Added Commute Expenses
- Poor Employee Mobility
Economic Impacts
Relocation economics quantify both one-time nonrecurring costs and recurring annual operating expenditures. The new location economics are often compared to a business-as-usual case; and, strictly from the investment return, annual savings of any new location ideally supports payback of the one-time relocation cost within three years of start-up.
