“When a
relocating employee has all the information that he or she needs to make an
informed decision about a new community, it increases the chances of a
successful relocation, boosts productivity, and ensures a better return on
investment for the employee’s company,” said Dave Bencivengo, WRRI’s Executive
Vice President of Client Services.
Using Next
Neighborhood, relocating employees can seamlessly research and analyze over
30,000 destination and departure locations and compare them against their current communities in such critical areas as population
demographics, amenities, schools, cost of living, crime and home values.
This powerful but easy-to-use system puts everything employees need to research
their new communities at their fingertips, through one convenient portal, so
they won’t waste valuable time combing a number of different sites to find
similar information.
“Particularly
in today’s economic environment, in which employees can be more hesitant to
accept a move, Next Neighborhood offers a useful recruitment tool, helping
companies overcome employee resistance by alleviating any concerns about their
destination locations. It’s another example of how WRRI is using Next Practice
technology to give our clients greater flexibility and control in managing
their mobile workforces.”
In addition
to real-time data continuously updated from the most reliable local and
national sources, Next Neighborhood also leverages social media to incorporate comments
from local residents on everything from schools to restaurants, offering a
fuller perspective of each community and ensuring that employees get the most
accurate snapshot of their target locations.
