Helping your talent relocate smoothly — without overspending

As corporate relocation models evolve, many companies are shifting away from traditional, fully-managed move packages and towards more flexible lump-sum and cash allowance options.

It’s easy to see why. These models give employees greater control over their move and allow businesses to manage costs and reduce internal admin. But with that flexibility comes risk: when employees are left to navigate the moving process on their own, it can quickly become stressful, inefficient, and expensive.

The Rise of Flexible Relocation Packages

Lump-sum and cash allowance schemes are now standard in many industries. In these models, employees receive a set budget to organise their own relocation — often covering services like:

  • Packing and removals
  • Short-term accommodation
  • Storage solutions
  • Flights or transport
  • Settling-in services

The problem? Without trusted support, many employees aren’t sure where to start. Costs can spiral, quality can vary, and valuable time is lost in the process.

Why Employees Need More Than Just a Budget

Even the most independent professionals can struggle with the logistics of a domestic or international move. Currency fluctuations, customs paperwork, and time pressure can turn what should be an exciting transition into a major headache.

That’s where your relocation partner comes in.

How Doree Bonner Helps Employees Make the Most of Their Budget

At Doree Bonner International, we’re here to support both the business and the employee — helping your team move with confidence, clarity and cost control.

Here’s how we do it:

✅ Transparent, Volume-Based Pricing

We charge based on the actual volume being moved, not arbitrary unit size. This helps employees avoid unnecessary costs and stay within their budget.

✅ Tailored Support, Based on Their Needs

Some employees need full-service packing and unpacking. Others just want transport and storage. We customise every quote to suit the person and the budget, making sure they only pay for what they actually need.

✅ International Expertise

Moving abroad? We manage customs, overseas delivery, and local unpacking through our trusted global network. Our team ensures there are no surprises — and no last-minute delays.

✅ Smart Currency FX Transfers

We’ve partnered with Smart Currency Exchange to help employees make international payments at better rates than traditional banks. That means more of their allowance goes towards the actual move — not fees and fluctuations.

✅ Real-Time Support

Our experienced team is on-hand throughout the process. From virtual consultations to final delivery, employees always have someone to turn to — so they never feel left to figure things out alone.

Case Study

One relocating employee we supported was moving from the UK to Singapore with a cash allowance. Through strategic packing and shared container shipping, we helped them reduce expected costs by over 25%, leaving room in the budget for temporary accommodation and additional settling-in services. They were so happy with the experience, they recommended us to two colleagues who were also relocating later that quarter.

The Employer Advantage

By working with Doree Bonner, businesses reduce admin and ensure every employee receives the same high-quality support — regardless of how much or how little help they choose. It protects your brand, boosts employee satisfaction, and delivers consistency across every move.
