By Stephen Chen, NuCompass Mobility, Senior Vice President, Technology & Security
In today's dynamic market, retailers have faced significant challenges in meeting customers' specific expectations for their shopping experiences. Customers now require mobile-friendly websites and apps that cater to their preference for shopping and conducting business on smartphones.

Assistance for the Relocating Family
Companies focus their relocation policies on employee needs, of course, but it is no surprise that the needs of spouses, partners, children, and pets should also be considered during the moving process. By offering the right set of destination and ancillary services, you can ensure a successful arrival and acclimation to the new community for the employee and their accompanying family members. NuCompass Vice President of Global Operations, Lorrie Kaiser, suggests that in addition to standard Destination and Settling-In Services, Spouse/Partner Assistance, Cross-Cultural Training, and Language Training are important areas to consider when transferring an employee to a new area.
