ActiveAbroad.com launches relocation service - 04/2001

Indispensable service for human resource managers and recruitment professionals

ActiveAbroad.com is pleased to announce the launch of its relocation service that provides a unique one-stop shop to expatriates relocating to the United Kingdom. ActiveAbroad offers a comprehensive wealth of practical information, interactive tools and essential services that gives expatriates easy access to all the products and services they require before and after their relocation.

The site, www.activeabroad.com, is targeted at the working professionals that receive limited or no additional human resource support or help when planning their expatriation. ActiveAbroad offers a different approach by aiming at the human resource managers and recruitment professionals that handle relocation for their employees or candidates. It provides an online access to a cost effective service that considerably reduces time, effort and stress by providing extensive information, advice, products and services when organising expatriation.

When a HR department or recruitment professional subscribes to ActiveAbroad services, it pays an annual membership fee which gives its employees or candidates unlimited access to ActiveAbroad's website using a password. Employees are then able to benefit from the expertise, knowledge and advice of ActiveAbroad's personal assistants.
Relocation Services
ActiveAbroad helps expatriates with organising their relocation by offering guidance on key relocation issues ranging from sourcing for accommodation; opening a bank account; healthcare and insurance; finding a school; to providing immigration and tax advice.

The site has an online billboard that allows expatriates to ask, share or exchange information on relocation topics. ActiveAbroad's personal assistants also facilitate the online billboard and give professional advice to expatriates.

Interactive Tool
As part of the launch, ActiveAbroad has introduced an interactive budget tool that calculates the costs of living and relocation to the United Kingdom. It enables expatriates to build a personalised budget online by providing detailed living cost information divided into categories including accommodation, groceries, transport, work, entertainment, utilities, communications, health, fitness and children's education.
