SRRC May 2016Message from the President
Greetings,
We had such a great turnout at the conference last month in sunny Tampa! I want to thank everyone for taking time out of their busy spring schedules to join us for the SRRC conference. With topics like Relocation in the Military, Using Technology to Increase Customer Service, International Security, a very strong corporate panel, and a fun scholarship video – I believe the Programs Committee did a fantastic job! Please mark your calendars for the Fall SRRC conference. It will be held September 14th and 15th at the Biltmore in Coral Gables, a beautiful resort just outside of Miami. The Programs and Logistics teams are planning all of the details right now. We will try to find another fun venue like Splitsville for our social event – I’ve heard there is fun to be had in Miami. I hope to see you then!

Beyond Basic Training: Moving with the Military - Session HighlightsBy: Linda Rothleder SCRP, SGMS
Recently, I was privileged to present this session to the Southeastern Regional Relocation Council (SRRC) at their Spring Conference in Tampa, Florida. My topics were: to present the uniformed military moving processes, a little about the Federal government relocation programs and how these programs compare to/differ from corporate programs. The bottom line: government policies are very egalitarian and governed by law; whereas, in the corporate world, relocation policies can change at the business unit level depending on their current workforce talent management needs.
To understand the current military moving processes, one needs to understand a little about the evolution of the modern military. Military families used to live on base and most spouses stayed home and supported the service member’s career. Everything began to change in the 1960s and 1970s as more military began to marry, women entered the workforce in large numbers and on-base housing fell into disrepair. Today, about one-third of the active duty force lives on base and two-thirds live in the local community. Of the 1.3 million active duty, about 50 percent of enlisted personnel are married and almost 70 percent of officers are married. Please click here to enjoy this article in its entirety.
Transformers RevisitedBy: Harry Dayton, Servicengine
In my thirty-five years in relocation I have seen several “transformations” of the industry; from a real estate oriented business to service oriented, and from U.S centric to a global focus. Today we are seeing new forces that are having a transformative impact in the market. I would like to share a couple of such case studies from our own experience.
Case Study 1 is a global corporation with millions of employees, thousands of locations and multiple service providers. Our audience is transferees, trainees, new hires and business travelers. Our challenge was to apply technology to coordinate resources, standardize processes, consolidate reporting and insure regulatory compliance. Our constraints included; limited home-office resources, the priorities of multiple constituents and the logistics of a complex organization.
Through our analysis we were inspired by the trending concept of Supply Chain Collaboration: The idea that the needs of some companies have become so complex that they cannot be met by one supplier. The integration of multiple service partners into a collaborative organization can leverage the distinctive competencies of each. Such a partnership can also yield scale economies, diversify the risk of a single-source supplier and position the organization to better manage surge volume.
Our technical solution consolidated the service process managed by multiple parties into a single platform by integrating the supplier’s individual systems (also Servicengine based) with a newly created client technology that serves as the program focal point and overall data “system of truth.” Please click here to enjoy this article in its entirety.
