why employers choose cartus

talent mobility 2.0: it’s your move

There are numerous reasons organizations may wish to outsource their corporate relocation programs. The freedom to focus on their core business, a superior and sustainable employee experience, tax and compliance benefits, cost savings from scalable service capacity, and purpose-built technology solutions (not to mention ongoing program and process optimization)—all are valuable contributors to a company’s ability to remain competitive in today’s market.

They are also no longer enough.

With the support of our Fortune 500 parent company, Anywhere Real Estate, and our shared purpose to empower everyone’s next move, Cartus delivers an exceptional experience to clients, customers, and their families through the power of cutting-edge mobility and real estate solutions, technology, and industry expertise.

We have designed our innovative services and products around one goal: to simplify and elevate work and life for you and your valued colleagues, whether you move dozens, hundreds, or thousands of employees each year.

flexible tech that's core/flex to the core

Industry-exclusive technology like Benefits Builder is just one of the answers to the question of “Why Cartus?”

At my previous company, I had the pleasure of collaborating with Cartus and experiencing their exceptional service firsthand. When I transitioned to my current role as AVP of Talent Acquisition at Ensemble Health Partners, the need for a reliable relocation management company arose, and Cartus was my immediate choice. Reconnecting with Cartus has been a rewarding experience, reaffirming my loyalty to them. Their dedication to partnership and collaboration is unparalleled; they truly integrate as an extension of our organization. Having gone through the implementation with Cartus twice now, I can attest that it was as seamless as these things can be. Cartus did all the heavy lifting and invested the time to understand our objectives and challenges, providing innovative solutions that consistently exceed our expectations.

Paul Dombek | AVP, Talent Acquisition

We transitioned our domestic relocation program to Cartus in 2021. The entire team was fantastic to work with and did all they could to make this a seamless process. The team has done a great job learning our program and has quickly learned how we like to manage the program to ensure a best-in-class experience for our employees while looking to control costs. Thank you for all your efforts.

Anna Ciri | Manager, Domestic Mobility

We do not relocate a large volume of employees on an annual basis, and we chose Cartus because of their size—we wanted a vetted partner with a large client base from which to glean best practices. Our account manager is extremely knowledgeable about the industry knowledge and skilled at balancing both the customer and client experience flawlessly.

Meet a few of the companies who trust us to support their most vital assets: their people.

Flexible solutions continue to grab attention in the field of talent mobility and corporate relocation as a cost-effective way to meet several business objectives simultaneously, including improved user experience and more diverse talent. Research from Worldwide ERC® shows that more than 70% of organizations now use flexible mobility policies as part of their relocation programs. COVID-19 appears to have been a significant factor for more organizations to adopt this approach, with research showing a 25% uptick in permanent transfer policies that now include flexible benefits compared to pre-pandemic levels

Leveraging our integrated, industry-exclusive “flex tech” solution, Benefits Builder, Cartus designs and delivers a number of flexible policy types, including tiered, lump sum, and core/flex, ensuring each program aligns with your company’s unique set of business priorities and challenges.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) isn’t just a concept—it’s an action. Behind every successful relocation program, a strong focus on DEI helps organizations better support relocating employees and their families. From an initial move to ongoing intercultural and language support, many facets of global talent mobility rely on a thorough understanding of DEI—not only to relocate employees but to provide a solid foundation for their continued growth within the company.

At Cartus, we’re helping our clients align their global mobility policy to their DEI priorities—enabling companies to achieve their organizational goals while creating a more supportive work environment for their diverse employees. How are you empowering your globally diverse workforce through policy? Our global mobility team is here to help shape and evolve your DEI journey, from updating your global mobility policy to connecting the dots to make employees feel like they belong.

Did you know that nearly 80% of Cartus clients move fewer than 100 employees per year? That’s why we created our dedicated Cartus Insignia® segment more than 20 years ago to support the unique needs of multiple-hat-wearing mobility leaders who need purpose-built solutions and deep domain expertise serving small-to-midsize programs.

Whether you are looking to establish your first corporate relocation program, optimize your current policies and practices, enter new markets, or expand your program to achieve new business objectives, we deliver solutions that embrace your unique needs. And if your program ever grows beyond the bounds of the Cartus Insignia sweet spot, we can also help you scale and leverage our global delivery models.

Why do companies like Fannie Mae, Penske, Juniper Networks, W. R. Grace & Co. and hundreds of others partner with us to manage their smaller-volume relocation programs? It comes down to our attention to detail on par with boutique agencies, ample resources to support their growth, state-of-the-art technology, and a constant commitment to investing in their future.

Innovating ways to optimize, anticipate, and manage the mobility lifecycle with Cartus-developed technology such as our single source of truth platform, MovePro360®, and integrated core/flex solution, Benefits Builder, Cartus provides a simplified and elevated client and employee experience throughout the relocation journey.

Cartus invests millions of dollars annually in operating and capital expenditures in support of our technology strategy, including new development, application and system maintenance, network and security infrastructure, disaster recovery, mobile applications, telecommunications, bots, predictive analytics, and more. This investment level aims to reduce operating costs and improve service to clients and relocating employees. It also means instant scalability, whatever your day-to-day and year-to-year program goals and move volumes—all at a fraction of the cost of developing similar tools and capabilities within your own organization.

With higher-than-ever customer expectations and ongoing global service delivery challenges, the supply chain management process has never been as critical to relocation success as it is today. Cartus’ Global Supply Chain Network comprises the best and brightest providers delivering services into, out of, and within 190 countries, all of whom are held to the same service standards as our own employees.

Our team of 50+ in-house supply chain professionals is distributed across the Americas, APAC, and EMEA regions, managing our supplier partners and supporting small and large client engagements. Working within the framework of a robust compliance program, their diverse experiences and collective expertise ensure consistent service delivery that flexibly incorporates the nuances of each local market. Working closely with so many client organizations over the years, each with its own unique needs and objectives, has allowed us to hone our supply chain management focus to three strategic pillars most critical to relocation programs today:

Cost Management
Service
Compliance

The subject of sustainability impacts all businesses. Finding methods for our industry—and all industries—to operate more sustainably is vital to Cartus and our clients. Our sustainability efforts are integrated throughout every level of our organization, from our executive leadership team to numerous grassroots projects (yes, pun intended :-).

At the executive level, our Executive SVP of Global Talent Mobility, EMEA & APAC, David Pascoe, joined Worldwide ERC®’s inaugural Sustainability Advisory Council in 2022. The newly formed council aims to help shape a unified approach toward sustainability for the relocation industry through the expertise and guidance of industry members.

Cartus has committed to set near-term company-wide emission reductions in line with climate science with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This makes Cartus one of only two global talent mobility companies to make the commitment, joining nearly 6,500 organizations dedicated to taking urgent climate action.
