3 Foreword Situational Analysis Atlas World Group conducts corporate relocation issues research on an annual basis. This is the sixteenth year the study has been conducted via the Internet. Invitations to participate in the survey were sent to mailing lists of selected relocation-related associations and human resource/relocation decision-maker contacts. In order to qualify for the survey, a respondent must: 1) have relocation responsibility and 2) work for a company that has either relocated employees within the past two years or plans to relocate employees this year. For the 51 st Annual Corporate Relocation Survey, Atlas World Group utilized Qualtrics software for building and conducting survey research on the Internet. Methodology In 2018, 435 surveys were completed by qualifying participants online from January 10 through March 6. Multiple choice questions add to 100% (+/- 1%) due to rounding. Other questions totaling above 100% are due to multiple responses. Company Size (By ) Total % of Sample Less than 500 Small % Mid-Size % Large % Total % 3

4 Management Summary Relocation Volumes & Budgets Companies surveyed report a median range of employee relocations in 2017 (small companies report 1-9, mid-size companies 20-49, and large companies ). The median number of relocations by large firms remains at normative levels established after spending far lower ( ) and small firms remain at historical norms after rising higher in 2014 (10-19). The median relocation level for mid-size firms remains at historical norms (20-49) for the second year after trending higher during (50-99). By Company Size () Number of Employees Relocated in 2016 Total Less than Median Range Roughly half (45%) of the companies surveyed indicate employee relocation volumes increased in More than 40% saw volumes remain the same and twelve percent saw them decrease. Company size continues to impact relocation volumes: slightly more mid-size (51%) and large (48%) report volumes increased than small firms (35%) in By Company Size () 2017 Relocation Volumes Compared to 2016 Total Less than Increase Significantly 13% 13% 13% 12% Increase Somewhat 32% 23% 38% 35% Stay About the Same 43% 53% 37% 39% Decrease Somewhat 10% 8% 10% 12% Decrease Significantly 2% 3% 3% 1% 4

5 Management Summary Relocation Volumes & Budgets (cont.) As volumes increased in the years after the Great Recession, budgets did not initially keep pace. However, for the past four years ( ) nearly half of companies indicate relocation budgets increased, and 44% believe their budgets will increase again in Mid-size firms were the most likely to report increases in budget last year (53%), followed by large firms (46%); notably fewer small firms had budget increases (31%)). This is a marked retraction for small firms from 2016 when roughly half saw increases to both categories, indicating a pullback is occurring among small firms, even if the tilt is towards stability rather than decreased activity as a whole. Overall, the vast majority of firms across size saw stability or increases in budgets last year; among the few who saw decreases, more were likely to be large firms (14%) than mid-size (7%) or small (6%). It is worth noting the past four years have seen volume and budget increases reported in agreement since the last economic retraction. The first few years of recovery from the Great Recession saw volumes increase although budgets did not rise at the same level; this has shifted with the most recent four years indicating expansion efforts in relocation are now being met with more commiserate levels of budget allocation. By Company Size () 2017 Relocation Budgets Compared to 2016 Total Less than Increase Significantly 11% 10% 12% 12% Increase Somewhat 32% 20% 40% 34% Stay About the Same 48% 63% 40% 39% Decrease Somewhat 8% 5% 4% 14% Decrease Significantly 1% 1% 3% 0% 5

6 Management Summary Relocation Volumes & Budgets (cont.) Projections for 2018 are essentially in line with last year s experiences across company size: most firms expect volumes and budgets to either increase or stay level with 2017; very few expect decreases. However, expectations for budget increases trend slightly higher than expectations for volume increases (44% vs. 39%), and volume expectations, muted slightly compared to last year (39% vs. 47%), are overwhelmingly positive, historically speaking. Expectations for increased budgets in 2018 among mid-size and large firms outpace expectations for volume increases (52% & 50% vs. 45% & 43%) and are more likely than small firms to expect increases in volumes and budgets (28% & 29%). With changes needed to adapt to tax reform and increasing costs across the industry, it appears the firms juggling greater numbers of relocations are projecting budgetary adjustments for the coming year. By Company Size () 2018 Expectations: Relocation Volumes Total Less than Increase Significantly 11% 9% 13% 12% Increase Somewhat 27% 19% 32% 30% Stay About the Same 48% 53% 46% 44% Decrease Somewhat 11% 14% 7% 12% Decrease Significantly 3% 5% 2% 1% 2018 Expectations: Relocation Budgets Total Less than Increase Significantly 13% 8% 17% 14% Increase Somewhat 31% 22% 35% 36% Stay About the Same 44% 56% 39% 37% Decrease Somewhat 11% 13% 8% 13% Decrease Significantly 1% 2% 1% 1% 6

7 Relocation Volumes & Budgets (cont.) Management Summary Most (72%) respondents state that declining the opportunity to relocate does not hinder an employee s career. Nearly six out of ten (59%) indicate they had employees decline the opportunity to relocate in 2017; however, only 39% of respondents from small companies indicate this was the case, while 62% of mid-size and 78% of large firms indicate they had employees decline relocation. Two-thirds or more of respondents state that the number of employees who declined relocation did not change substantially between 2016 and 2017 across company size. Also, the percentage of firms that saw an increase over the previous year falls just within post-recession levels (18% vs. 11%-18% ) after trending higher the previous three years (2014: 28%; 2015: 22%; & 2016: 20%), notably below the highs of (28%+). Additionally, more than a tenth of firms across sizes state reluctance to relocate decreased last year. By Company Size () Reasons for Declining Relocation* (Top 6) Total Less than Family Issues/Ties 64% 53% 63% 71% Spouse s/partner s Employment 55% 53% 56% 54% Personal Reasons (non-disclosed) 44% 29% 40% 55% Destination Location 36% 27% 40% 38% Cost of Living in New Location 34% 29% 31% 40% No Desire to Relocate 30% 37% 26% 30% Housing/Mortgage Concerns 20% 14% 28% 16% *of companies with declined relocations (Q8) Only 20% of companies who had employees decline relocation last year state that housing/mortgage concerns was a reason cited, decreasing for a fifth year after spiking (65%+), and at the lowest level in more than 15 years. Family issues/ties remains in the top spot with spouse/partner employment in second place across firms of all sizes for the fifth consecutive year as well. Spouse/partner employment as an reason remains elevated and near the highest levels since the turn of the century. Among firms of all sizes these two factors outstripped housing/mortgage concerns by a wide margin. 7

8 Management Summary Relocation Volumes & Budgets (cont.) Most (86%) respondents indicate their firms offered additional incentives or exceptions to policy to encourage employee relocations in 2017, remaining at the highest levels yet after use dropped significantly in 2013 from (65% vs. 73%+) after progressively increasing from 60% in With housing/mortgage pressures lessening, far fewer firms offered extending temporary housing benefits the past four years (56%-61% vs. 72%), although it remains one of the top three incentives/exceptions offered. Relocation bonuses and COLAs round out the top three methods used last year across company size. Although half or more of firms across company size offered extended temporary housing benefits and more than half of firms across size offered relocation bonuses, large firms were the most likely to offer extended temporary housing benefits or COLAs compared to mid-size or small firms. Small firms were the least likely to indicate they used COLAs as incentives.

9 Management Summary Relocation Volumes & Budgets (cont.) Of those who relocated employees in the United States, the most frequent U.S. region destination was the Northeast (38%), followed by the Midwest (30%), West (27%) and South (26%). The Northeast was the first place destination of firms across size (38% small, 36% mid-size, & 41% large). The Midwest was a close second at mid-size firms (32%) followed by the West (29%), while for small firms the Midwest (27%) and South (26%) nearly tied for second place. At large firms, three regions nearly tied for second: West (32%), Midwest (31%) and South (30%). Among firms relocating employees between the U.S. and another country/region, the most frequent destinations of transfer in 2017 were western European (27%), United States (27%), United Kingdom (25%), Asian (25%), Canadian (22%), and eastern European (14%) locations. Intra-country/region transfers occurred most often in the United States (33%), followed by western European (21%), Asian (18%), and United Kingdom (18%) territories. Continuing expatriate relocations typically occurred between the following countries/regions: western Europe (35%), United States (35%), Asia (31%), and the United Kingdom (18%). Asia Europe (Western) United Kingdom Canada Europe (Eastern) United States 33% 35% 35% 31% 25% 27% 25% 27% 22% 21% 18% 18% 18% 14% 14% 12% 13% 15% Between U.S. & Another Country/Region Within Single Foreign Country/Region Between Two Foreign Countries/Regions 9

10 Factors Impacting Relocations Management Summary A key issue emerged in December 2017: passage of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The new law eliminates the moving-expenses deduction for the next eight years. We queried the law s impacts for both 2018 and regarding five key aspects of relocation: Cost: Around half expect relocation costs increases both in 2018 and over the next seven years. Far more mid-size and large firms (53% & 68%) feel this way for 2018 compared to small (31%), but half or more firms across size expect increased costs over Policy Changes: Roughly four out of ten firms, both for 2018 and over the next seven years, expect increased changes to relocation policy. Over the course of 2018, more mid-size and large firms than small feel this will occur (42% & 52% vs. 28%). However, expectations are more similar across size. Administration Complexity: Around four out of ten firms expect administrative complexity to increase both in 2018 and beyond, both overall and across firm size. Recruiting Difficulty: Around half of firms expect the law to make recruitment neither more nor less difficult in However, more than a fourth across company size expect added difficulty, both in 2018 and beyond. Relocation Numbers: Nearly equal percentages overall expect the law to increase (22%) or decrease (19%) relocations in 2018, with some variances across size. Looking toward , around a third of firms across sizes project increases, compared to roughly one out of ten projecting a decreasing effect. Increase: 2018 Increase: Relocation costs Relocation policy changes Complexity of relocation administration Difficulty recruiting employees to relocate Number of relocations performed Q17: Tax Reform Impact 41% 36% 28% 29% 39% 37% 22% 36% 51% 55% The majority of organizations plan to make policy changes in response to tax reform, although midsize and large firms are most likely to do so (78% & 87% vs. 58%). The most popular tweak planned across organization size is to gross-up taxable relocation benefits (71% large, 55% midsize, & 45% small). Around a third of firms across size plan to expand the use of lump-sums. Roughly a third or more of mid-size and large firms plan to streamline relocation processes to reduce costs and/or to restructure relocation policy, compared to roughly a fourth of small firms. Small firms are the most likely to plan to withhold taxes on relocation benefits (36%). 10

11 Management Summary Factors Impacting Relocations (cont.) The vast majority (83%) of respondents indicate at least one external factor had a significant impact on the number of employee relocations performed in The lack of qualified local talent remains near previous non-recessionary ranges (44% vs. 47%+) with talent needs outpacing real estate issues by a significant margin for the seventh year in a row. Just 21 percent of firms reported economic conditions as a factor; this is the first time in a decade this percentage has fallen into this range and is the lowest level in roughly 30 years. After progressively declining as an issue over the last eight years the real estate market falls to a historic low since measurement began in As in previous years, the impact of different external factors varies by company size. Across firm size, talent needs clearly outstripped economic conditions as an impacting factor in relocation last year. However, at both mid-size and large firms competition (domestic or international) came in as a close second (40% vs. 31%, 43% vs. 30%, respectively). The growth of competition (domestic or international) was cited roughly twice as often as a factor in compared to the previous six years, and it remains elevated for 2017 comparatively (25% vs. 9%-18%). While economic conditions trends lower, it was cited a bit more often at mid-size and large firms. Also, small firms were roughly twice as likely as large firms to cite the real estate market as an issue last year (15% vs. 7%). However, talent issues remain at higher levels post-recession and the lower impact of both economic conditions and the real estate market are the overarching trends across firms of all sizes, with the percentages of firms citing talent shortfalls standing out as one of the largest drivers of relocation volumes overall last year. By Company Size () External Conditions Having Significant Impact (Select 4) Total Less than Lack of Qualified People Locally 44% 49% 40% 43% Competition (Domestic or International) 25% 13% 31% 30% Economic Conditions 21% 14% 26% 22% Real Estate Market 11% 15% 11% 7% 11

12 Management Summary Factors Impacting Relocations (cont.) While company growth remains in the top spot among individually listed internal conditions for the eighth straight year, the percentage of firms citing company growth remains similar to previous recessionary levels despite maintaining a substantial increase over 2009 (37% vs. 24%). However, when all types of expansion are considered (facility, new territories, or international), 34% of firms indicate some form of expansion impacted their relocation volumes last year, essentially equal to company growth, making this a top factor impacting relocations overall. Company growth and combined expansion efforts were some of the key internal factors impacting relocations in 2017 regardless of company size. Among large firms, expansion efforts (48%), corporate structure changes (44%) and knowledge/skills transfers (42%) surpassed company growth (39%). Large firms were more likely than mid-size or small to indicate expansion efforts (48% vs. 33% & 22%), corporate structure changes (44% vs. 29% & 20%), or knowledge/ skills transfers (42% vs. 24% & 26%) impacted relocation volumes last year, while company growth impact was similar across firms of all sizes. Around a tenth of small (10%) and mid-size (12%) firms cite budget constraints as a major factor in relocations last year vs. 18% of large firms. Roughly a fourth or more of firms across size cited promotions/resignations as a key factor in relocation volumes last year. Internal Conditions Having Significant Impact (Select 6) By Company Size () Total Less than Company Growth 37% 35% 38% 39% Expansion (Facility, New Territories, or International) 34% 22% 33% 48% Knowledge/Skills Transfers 31% 26% 24% 42% Corporate Structure Changes (Acquisition/Mergers or Corporate Reorganization/Restructuring) 31% 20% 29% 44% Promotions/Resignations 28% 24% 28% 32% Budget Constraints 13% 10% 12% 18% 12

13 Factors Impacting Relocations (cont.) Management Summary The majority of responding firms (68%) anticipate their overall financial performances will be better in 2018, up significantly from 2008 (59%) and 2009 (27%) and similar to (63%+), although remaining slightly below expectations (74%+). Additionally, 55% expect the U.S. economy to improve as well, markedly above to 2007, 2010, 2012 & 2016 (41%+), significantly above (10%+), and similar to 2006, 2011, , & 2017 (51%+). Expectations for improved performances of individual firms and the overall U.S. economy are at levels far above recessionary lows and on par with previous stronger economic growth years. Additionally, roughly half of firms expect global markets (both emerging and developed) to improve this year as well. By Company Size () 2018 Expectations: Company s Overall Financial Performance Total Less than Better than % 64% 68% 72% 2018 Expectations: Emerging Global Markets Total Less than Better than % 49% 62% 56% 2018 Expectations: Developed Global Economies Total Less than Better than % 50% 54% 53% 2018 Expectations: U.S. Economy Total Less than Better than % 57% 54% 55% 2018 Expectations: U.S. Real Estate Market Total Less than Better than % 43% 48% 43% For the ninth year in a row, most firms, regardless of size, expect their overall financial performances to improve. Around half or more of firms, regardless of size, expect improvement in global markets (emerging & developed) and the U.S. economy. Overall expectations are largely for improvement or stability; very few expect worsening conditions. Mid-size firms are the most optimistic for global emerging markets, optimism across developed market types is similar across size. Expectations for improvements in the U.S. real estate market dip notably (45% vs. 55% in 2017), similar to 2016 (43%) but below (52%+). Rising interest rates may be a factor; most expect stability/improvement across size. 13

14 Management Summary Policy Administration Eighty-four percent of the companies surveyed have a formal global mobility strategy; 79% have a formal domestic relocation policy. Companies with 500-4,999 and 5,000 or more employees are more likely to have either than small firms (87% large, 86% mid-size vs. 75% small: global mobility strategy; 90% large, 85% midsize vs. 62% small: domestic relocation policy). Corporate professionals find themselves responsible for far more formal policy types than in the past; more than half (53%) have short-term/temporary assignment policies, nearly half (46%) have extended business travel policies, and 34% have long-distance commuter policies. Large firms are the most likely to have a shortterm/temporary assignments policy (72%), and large and mid-size firms are most likely to manage EBT policies (54% & 48%) and long-distance commuter policies (39% & 38%). 79% 85% 90% 62% Relocation Policies Total Less than % 53% 55% 46% 48% 54% 32% 36% 34% 38% 39% 23% Domestic Relocations Short-Term/Temporary Assignments Extended Business Travel Long-Distance Commuter Essentially half of participating companies are international (47%), similar to 2017 (48%). Large companies continue to be more likely to operate internationally, as nearly three times as many large companies (72%) are international than small companies (25%; 74% vs. 24% in 2017). The percentage of mid-size firms indicating they are international is similar to nearly all of the past twelve years (44% vs. 46%+), remaining markedly below the highest reported in 2004 (64%). 14

15 Management Summary Policy Administration (cont.) Thirty-three percent of the companies involved in this study employ fewer than 500 salaried workers, 34% employ 500-4,999 salaried employees, and 33% employ 5,000 or more salaried employees. Around nine out of ten mid-size (88%) and large (90%) companies surveyed have a centralized department/team that handles relocation, far more than 59% of small companies. The top five responsibilities of centralized relocation departments are: development/maintenance of relocation policy (59%), managing domestic relocation programs (55%), controlling household goods carrier selection (37%), managing international relocation programs (37%), and controlling the selection of additional relocation services provider(s) (33%). By Company Size () Cost Containment Measures Used in 2017 (Top 7) Total Less than Use Lump Sum Payments for Relocations 33% 28% 34% 37% Cap Relocation Benefit Amounts 27% 24% 29% 30% Limit Miscellaneous Expense Allowance Benefits (coverage items, amounts) 22% 19% 18% 28% Review/Renegotiate Supplier Contracts 20% 10% 21% 30% Restructure Policy Tiers/Eligibility for Certain Benefits 16% 8% 16% 24% Offer Short-Term/Extended Travel/Commuter Arrangements (instead of relocation) 16% 6% 14% 27% Offer Pre-Decision Counseling 13% 8% 12% 18% The vast majority of firms worked to contain costs in relocation policy/practice over the past year, and overall use trends higher (77%) than the recessionary peak (2011: 70%). Around a fourth or more of firms, regardless of size, used lump sum payments or capped relocation benefits amounts. Large firms limited miscellaneous allowances, reviewed/renegotiated supplier contracts, restructured policy tiers/eligibility, and offered alternate arrangement types far more often than mid-size or small firms as methods of cost containment last year. 15

16 Management Summary Policy Administration (cont.) The vast majority of large and mid-size companies have different tiers, or levels, in their relocation policies compared to roughly half of small firms (84% & 72% vs. 47%, respectively). Most firm tier/level policies across company size appear to be based on job/grade level or position/job title, however, at large firms job/grade level far outweighs any other factor. Large firms are more likely to indicate homeowner/renter status as key policy criteria compared to smaller firms (40% vs. 15% and 24%). On average, employee status as a new hire/current employee is only taken into consideration by around one-fourth of firms with tiers/levels across size. Top 6 Criteria By Company Size () Bases for Different Tiers (or Levels) in Domestic Relocation Policy* Total Less than Job/Grade Level (i.e. staff, management, professional, etc.) 57% 50% 51% 65% Position/Job Title 49% 53% 48% 47% Homeowner/Renter Status 29% 15% 24% 40% New Hire/Current Employee Status 24% 23% 25% 25% Length of Assignment 23% 20% 22% 26% Assignment Location/Region 19% 23% 20% 15% Average Number of Tiers *of those companies with tiers/levels (Q21a-1) Companies vary on the amount of time they allow employees to decide on whether to accept a relocation offer. Around half (58%) of the companies surveyed allow two weeks or less to accept or decline an offer, 29% allow up to 3 weeks or 1 month, and 13% allow up to 2 months or more to decide. Once a relocation is accepted more than half of firms across size allow one month or less for an employee to report to work at the new location: 31% firms overall indicate relocating employees have three weeks or less to make this transition. From start to finish, the majority of firms only allow a maximum of seven to eight weeks from job offer to the expectation of an employee starting work at the new location. 16

17 Policy Administration (cont.) Management Summary Sixty-one percent of all firms report using alternative assignments, with mid-size (64%) and large (78%) the greatest users. The percentage of large firms using such arrangements is at the highest level measured (78%), on par with this year (72%-74%) after progressively increasing (60%, 62%, 66%). Usage among mid-size firms remains almost twice that of 2014 (64% vs. 37%) and similar to (68%-75%). Usage among small firms tumbles compared to last year s historical high (40% vs. 59%) after progressively increasing (48%, 54% & 59%); however, it remains essentially double that reported in 2014 (19%). While the top reason for use in the past was to meet strategic business goals, in recent years no overarching driver of alternative assignments inside mobility policy stands out dramatically from the rest; most potential uses are indicated by roughly a fourth or more of firms, regardless of company size. Q.30 Alternative Assignments Used: Q.30a Alternative Assignment Reasons*: Used to Meet Strategic Business Goals 35% No & No plans to do so 39% Yes & plan to do so 61% Used in Place of Long-Term Assignments Used in Addition to Long-Term Assignments Used to Accommodate Employee Needs Used to Develop Internal Talent Used to Maximize Budget/Corporate Resources Used in Place of Traditional Short-Term Assignments Used in Addition to Traditional Short-Term Assignments 19% 35% 35% 30% 28% 27% 26% Other 3% *of those using alternative assignments (Q30) Almost two-thirds of firms cite business need as the top consideration for alternative assignments; more often by large (76%) and small firms (60%) than mid-size (44%). Notably, the weight given to assignment purpose, cost, or job function has declined substantially compared to previous highs overall, and even last year. However, while at large and small firms, business need is the clear top consideration by a wide margin, at mid-size firms, the top two factors, business need and assignment purpose, are more equal in weight (44% & 46%). 17

18 Policy Administration (cont.) Management Summary Employees are allowed on average 4.1 expense-paid house-hunting days. Spouses/partners of relocating employees are allowed an average of 1.8 expense-paid house-hunting trips. Overall relocating employee composition was close to evenly split between transferees and new hires, but tilted in favor of new hires overall. Small and mid-size firms indicate they are more likely to have relocated new hires last year, while large firms are more likely to have relocated transferees. Nearly half of relocated employees were homeowners across company size. For the third time, we asked about the composition of relocations the percentages of executive/top level, midlevel, and entry level positions. We found that around half of relocations in 2017 were mid-level jobs, roughly a third were executive/top level positions, and close to a fifth were entry level jobs, regardless of company size. Q.26 Approximate Percentage of Relocating Employees in 2017: 46% 34% 44% 59% 47% 46% 47% 49% 33% 35% 36% 30% 54% 66% 56% 41% 38% 38% 36% 41% 15% 17% 16% 11% 48% 50% 45% 49% 19% 16% 20% 21% Total Less than 500 New Hires Transferees Total Less than Neither Renters Homeowners Total Less than Entry Level Mid-Level Executive/Top Level Ninety-six percent of decision makers say that the Internet/technology was used for relocation-related matters in The top use was to communicate via with relocating employees (83%). Roughly half or more of large companies also used the Internet/technology to complete online forms for employee relocation, initiate/execute employee relocation services, research relocation-related matters, and access relocation company website(s) for reporting/other services. 18

19 Policy Administration (cont.) Management Summary In , nearly three-fourths of firms incorporated fixed/flex elements in their policy; in more than 8 out of 10 (82%+) did so. Fixed/flex usage ran similar across company size from , but returns to much more likely at mid-size and large firms than at small ones in 2018, similar to previous historical norms. Q.22a Percentage of Companies Using Fixed/Flex Benefits Policy Elements: 82% 65% 92% 90% *% of those indicating Yes Coverage for fixed components, either across all employee levels/categories or dependent on employee level/category, continues to be the most popular choice among all firms. However, there is a shift away from coverage for all employee levels/categories to criteria-dependent coverage. Large firms more heavily favor criteria-dependent coverage for specific or fixed items over coverage for all employees (53% vs. 39%) while fixed aspects as universally available or criteria-dependent are essentially evenly split at mid-size and small firms.

Use of lump sum payments by roughly half of firms is consistent with findings since Use of partial reimbursement remains at the highest level recorded for a second year. It is worth noting that the percentage of firms indicating they sometimes offer no reimbursement reaches the highest level historically (18%). Full reimbursement of expenses for new hires (42%) remains near the lowest levels historically (36-38% ), out of favor in comparison to lump sum payments (58%). While roughly half of firms have used lump sum payments for new hires since 2008 it reaches the highest level recorded. The percentage of firms using partial reimbursement remains near historically higher levels from (46%-51%) for a second year. Nineteen percent indicate occasionally offering no reimbursement, the second highest incidence ever measured. 20

21 Relocation Costs (cont.) Management Summary When asked about their overall relocation compositions, large and mid-size firms indicate roughly half (55% and 48%) of their relocations were fully reimbursed, compared to only 34% of small firms. Small firms indicate a higher average of relocations were lump sum only (33%) than mid-size or large firms (18% and 19%) in Across company size, firms indicate around a fourth of their relocations were partially reimbursed. Across size, companies estimate around three-fourths of their domestic moves last year were traditional/ permanent relocations rather than other arrangements. However, it is worth noting that essentially 1 out of 4 relocations across firm size fell outside this traditional mold. Among companies using lump sums, roughly half indicate lump sums were offered for travel expenses, temporary housing, miscellaneous expense allowances, or the entire relocation cost. However, large firms are more likely to use lump sums for miscellaneous allowances or temporary housing compared to smaller firms. Small firms show a greater likelihood than large firms to apply lump sums to the entire relocation cost, shipping/storage of household goods, or real estate assistance/transactions. More than a fourth of firms across size indicate using it for rental assistance/transactions.

22 Relocation Costs (cont.) Management Summary Around half of companies using lump sums indicate they are used across employee types (executives, experienced professionals, and entry level employees). However, this varies across firm size. Small firms use these far more often for executives and experienced professionals than entry level employees (57% & 55% vs. 31%); usage across levels is far more similar at mid-size and large firms. Renters are more likely to receive lump sums than homeowners from mid-size or large firms (34% vs. 21%, 41% vs. 27%). Large and mid-size firms offer transferees and new hires lump sums around half the time or more; while at small firms this occurs only for new hires (55%) transferees receive them far less often (35%). Companies using lump sums indicate domestic relocations overwhelmingly as the most frequent application, true for the vast majority of firms of all sizes. More than a fourth overall use lump sums for short-term/temporary assignments or international long-term assignments. Only around one-seventh of all firms use lump sums for alternative assignments. Large and mid-size firms are more likely than small firms to use lump sums for international long-term assignments (34% & 37% vs. 23%); use for short-term/temporary assignments is more similar across firm size but usage trends higher among larger firms (30% vs. 20%). Nearly all companies track lump sum spending/allocation per employee. Over half (55%) of firms say a Human Resources staff member performs this function, and roughly half (45%) say expense report submissions are the method used for tracking. But many other responsible personnel (Relocation, Finance, employee) and methods (Excel, online reports, in-house software) are also used by nearly a fourth or more of firms as well.

Compared to the past five years, most offerings are more frequent and generous than in 2013 and on par with 2014, despite some dips below ranges reached in The overall median ranges are the highest in five years for: household goods shipping/storage, entire relocation cost, temporary housing, and miscellaneous expense allowance. However, offerings for real estate assistance/transactions, rental assistance/transactions and travel expenses fall one range lower. The median amounts offered by large and small firms were the same for real estate assistance/transactions ($1,000-$4,999), rental assistance/transactions ($1,000-$2,499), and travel expenses ($2,500-$4,999); midsize firms were slightly more generous for real estate and rental costs, while less generous for travel. Median amounts offered by mid-size and large firms were the same for temporary housing ($2,500-$4,999); small firms were slightly less generous. The median amount offered for miscellaneous expense allowances was the same for small and mid-size firms ($1,000-$2,499); large firms were slightly more generous. Median amounts across company size were the same for the following categories: entire relocation cost ($10,000-$14,999) and household goods shipping/storage ($5,000-$9,999). 23

24 Relocation Costs (cont.) Management Summary For TRANSFEREES or NEW HIRES, reimbursement/payment for relocation services depends on employee level with mid-level and executive/top level employees having a far greater chance of receiving coverage for specific items. Nearly half or more firms overall offer the following coverage for executive/top level moves: 64% 56% 58% 63% 44% 39% Q31: Cost Coverage (Top 8) Entry Level Mid-Level Executive/Top Level 53% 49% 47% 34% 37% 39% 44% 43% 29% 31% 20% 20% 27% 33% 35% 43% 25% 26% Pack all items Move an automobile Move a second automobile Unpack all items Move exercise equipment Move collections of highly valuable objects Move unlimited weight Partial/custom unpacking of items For TRANSFEREES or NEW HIRES who are homeowners buying a new home, whether or not they are offered assistance specific to their status as homeowners depends on employee level as well with mid-level and executive/top level employees receiving support more often than entry level employees. Nearly half of firms overall offer the following assistance for executive/top level moves: Q32: Homeowner Assistance (Top 5) Entry Level Mid-Level Executive/Top Level 55% 56% 53% 55% 46% 52% 46% 34% 34% 34% 36% 36% 45% 20% 17% Offer homefinding trips Offer temporary housing allowance Offer storage Reimburse/pay for home sale costs Reimburse/pay for home purchase costs 24

25 Relocation Costs (cont.) Management Summary For TRANSFEREES or NEW HIRES who will be renting in the new location, whether or not they are offered assistance specific to their status as renters depends on employee level as well with mid-level and executive/ top level employees receiving help more often than entry level employees. Roughly half of firms overall offer the following assistance for mid-level and executive/top level moves: Q33: Renter Assistance (Top 4) Entry Level Mid-Level Executive/Top Level 53% 59% 50% 54% 39% 42% 39% 46% 52% 46% 48% 35% Offer homefinding trips Offer temporary housing allowance Reimburse/pay for lease cancellation Offer storage The majority of companies reimburse or pay for some relocation costs for transferees or new hires regardless of employee level, however around a fourth of firms on average are opting to either not cover costs or offer lump sums instead. The majority of firms offer specialized relocation assistance for either homeowners or renters as well, but overall around a fourth or more on average indicate they are opting to not offer assistance or offer lump sums instead for both situations. The biggest adopters of no assistance or lump sums are small firms, using this option roughly twice as often as mid-size or large firms across employee levels. The biggest trends overall are that for relocation services costs, entry level employee coverage levels generally vary marginally across company size, while at the mid-level coverage trends more generous among large firms than small across more than half of individual cost coverage items. At the executive/top level, coverage trends more generous at both mid-size and large firms compared to small across more than half of the items listed. For homeowner and renter assistance, levels of assistance offered for entry level relocations trend higher at mid-size and large firms for more than half the assistance items listed. For mid-level and executive/top level relocations, mid-size and large firms are markedly more willing to provide assistance across nearly all categories, with large firms typically providing the highest levels of assistance across multiple categories. 25

26 Employee, Spouse & Assistance Issues Management Summary The following is the makeup of those employees relocated in 2017: Fifty-seven percent of companies surveyed indicate that the age range of their most frequently relocated employee is 30 to 40 years of age, and 84% of the companies surveyed indicate some percentage of the employees they relocated last year were women. Eighty percent of companies indicate some percentage of their relocations involved a trailing spouse who was a wife or female partner; an equal percentage (80%) of companies indicate that some percentage of their relocations had accompanying husbands/male partners as well. Eighty-six percent of companies indicate some percentage of their relocations involved employees with children. Nearly half (44%) of companies surveyed provide some type of elder care assistance to the relocating employee. Larger firms in the past were more likely to offer this assistance; this year more mid-size firms indicate doing so than small or large firms (55% vs. 37% & 40%). Overall, for the fourth year this is far more than has been offered historically (44% vs. 15%-26%) and remains at elevated levels across company size. Fifty-nine percent of companies surveyed provide some type of childcare assistance to the relocating employee. After two years where provision of this benefit was similar across company size, it returns to the historical norm of larger firms more likely to offer this assistance. Overall, for the fourth year, this is far more than has been offered historically (59% vs. 31%-43%) and remains at elevated levels across company size. The most popular assistance methods are to provide lists of childcare options. Provide list of local schools/educational options (28%) Provide list of childcare providers/services and/or agencies (27%) Allow employee to use pre-tax dollars for outside care (24%) Provide paid personal leave days (22%) From , around half of firms reported performing assessments on candidates prior to relocation. Since 2015, far more state this is policy (65%+). The most popular method is to conduct assessments for all relocations (38%), similar to 2017 (40%) but down compared to (46%+) and nearly double previous levels (21%, ). However, the number of large firms performing assessments overall is falls notably (54% vs. 68%+) while usage held steady at mid-size firms (74%) compared to recent years (74%-84%) and only slightly dipped among small (67% vs. 73%-78%). A marked decrease among large firms performing assessments universally remains in place for a second year compared to (29% vs. 42%+). 26

27 Management Summary Employee, Spouse & Assistance Issues (cont.) The majority (86%) of companies surveyed allow the hiring of spouses of employees. Fifty-nine percent of companies indicate the spouse s/partner s employment almost always or frequently affects an employees relocation, similar to the last three years (62%+) and remaining elevated compared to the previous twelve years (59% vs. roughly half or less). Around a third indicate an employee s willingness to relocate is seldom affected by his/her spouse s/partner s employment status, and only seven percent of respondents state this never affects an employee s relocation. Roughly six out of ten (59%) of companies surveyed assist an employee s spouse/partner in finding employment in the new location. Spousal/partner employment assistance levels remain higher compared historically both overall and across company size. However, after two years of being offered at similar levels across company size, it returns being offered more often by mid-size and large firms (historical norm). At firms offering this assistance, around a third (30%) of relocated employees with spouses/partners utilized this assistance in 2017, similar to 2011 & , up from around a fourth in , Across firms of all sizes, the most popular form of employment assistance is networking assistance. Around a third offer assistance with résumé preparation and around a fourth provide interview skills training or employment within the company.

28 Supplier Management Management Summary At 34% of the companies surveyed, the company is the sole selector of the household goods carrier for the employee s relocation. Forty-seven percent of the companies surveyed allow the employee some say in the household goods carrier selection, but employees of small and mid-size firms are more likely to have this option than those of large firms (69% and 50% vs. 21%, respectively). Almost a third (30%) of large companies hand off selection to a relocation firm, more often than mid-size (16%) and small firms (8%).

Q.43 Percentage of Companies Outsourcing in 2017: 70% 49% 74% 86% Total Less than For small and mid-size firms, the department most often involved in selecting the relocation service, HRO or brokerage firm is Human Resources (81% & 69%), while at large firms, Relocation is most often involved in selection (62%). Procurement is more likely to be involved in the discussion at large firms than small or midsize (25% vs. 12% & 16%), Executive Management is far more likely to be part of the decision-making process at mid-size and small (23% & 26% vs. 11%). More than a fifth of companies responding outsourced the following in 2017: Real estate sales/marketing (30%) Contract of household goods carrier (27%) Counseling about the planning & details of relocation (25%) Real estate purchase (25%) Counseling about company policy (24%) Management of full relocation program (24%) Expense management/tracking/reimbursement services (23%) Orientation tours at new location (22%) Coordination and monitoring of shipment (21%) 29

30 Management Summary International Fifty-two percent of companies surveyed relocate employees internationally: 29% of small companies, 47% of mid-size companies, and 79% of large companies. Forty-one percent of these companies indicate their international relocation volumes increased in 2017, with more than a third of small and large firms and nearly half (47%) of mid-size firms experiencing increases. While the overwhelming majority of firms relocating internationally saw volumes remain level or increase last year across company size, it is worth noting nearly a fifth of small and mid-size and nearly a fourth of large firms saw decreases. Thirty-eight percent of firms overall expect increases in international relocation volumes in There is a bit of variance by company size: nearly half (47%) of mid-size firms expect increases in international relocations, while only around a third of small and large firms expect increases. The vast majority of firms regardless of size expect either further improvement or stability in international relocation volumes in the coming year, however, roughly a fifth overall expect decreases. While projected increases generally outpace decreases roughly two-toone, the mixed picture reflects a bit of instability. Given the geopolitical landscape, this is perhaps not unexpected.

31 International (cont.) Management Summary Overall, the traditional long-term assignment comprises the greatest amount of international relocations: over half of all relocations fall into this category. However, both short-term/temporary assignments and permanent transfers were also used: shorter assignments comprise around a seventh of international relocations, permanent transfers roughly one-fourth. When asked about reimbursement for international relocations, it is worth noting that on average, firms estimate over a third of their international relocations were fully reimbursed last year across company size, and 10% or less were lump sum payment only. There are some marked differences by company size regarding the typical international assignment length. Far more small and mid-size firms indicate the typical international assignment duration is less than 12 months compared to large firms (48% and 40% vs. 11%), while large and mid-size firms favor traditional assignment lengths of 1-3 years comparatively (57% and 44% vs. 23%). It is worth noting that while around a third of small and large firms also indicate longer-term assignments are the norm, standard usage among mid-size firms of longer assignment types is roughly half comparatively (16% vs. 30% & 32%).

33 International (cont.) Management Summary Roughly half or more firms relocating employees internationally have different tiers, or levels, in their international relocation policies across company size. Tier/level policies appear to be based on job/grade level, position/job title, and assignment length most commonly overall. Assignment length (38%) and objectives (26%) carry much more weight internationally than domestically (23% and 14%), while the relative weights of other factors are more similar between international and domestic status.

However, those offering specific policy allowances fall roughly at or below last year s levels, with most offerings falling to historic lows. We note these exceptions: financial services assistance is near historical highs (31% vs. 39%); additional leave time is similar to the last three years (30% vs. 28%-33%) and above lows (16%-18%); and extended per diem charges falls in the historical midrange (18% vs. 11%-28%) of the last 15 years.. The percentages of firms offering certain benefits also remain similar to the past three years, albeit far lower than four years ago: i.e., additional tax considerations (41% vs. 42%-46% & 61%) and allowances for children to attend certain schools (35% vs. 39%-42% & 54%). Among internationally relocating firms, more than a third offer: additional tax considerations (41%), additional leave time with a visit back to home country (36%), and allowances for children to attend certain schools (35%). 33

34 Management Summary International (cont.) Eighty percent of companies who relocate employees internationally indicate they outsourced an international relocation service in 2017, similar to 2016 (84%) and remaining near the highest levels measured historically ( : 85%). Of those companies who outsourced relocation services domestically, the percentage that also outsourced internationally is matches the highest historically (2014: 98%), above 2016 (95%) and surpassing 2011 & 2013 (88%+) and significantly above all previous levels measured in 2003, , 2012 (81%+) and (70%+). After seeing increases in 2016, international outsourcing saw marked decreases last year across most service categories, with levels falling in the mid to lower ranges historically. Five areas saw the greatest decreases: contract of household goods carrier (30% vs. 44%), relocation planning & details counseling (29% vs. 44%), destination services/orientation tours (30% vs. 43%), family s temporary accommodations arrangements (29% vs. 42%), and coordination/monitoring of international shipment (29% vs. 41%). Similar to domestic trends, outsourcing across categories for small and large firms decreased from The pullbacks were often more dramatic internationally, especially among small firms. Mid-size firms saw either declines or stability across categories, but were far less likely to have reduced outsourcing across most categories compared to small or large firms last year. While mid-size and large firms are a more likely to outsource internationally than small firms in general, large firms outsource a greater variety of services than small or mid-size firms do.

Non-disclosed personal reasons were the second largest reason given across firm size (tying for first place at small firms). Lack of adaptability by the spouse/partner and financial issues/concerns rounded out the top four reasons given by firms across size.
