U.S. metal fabricator announces relocation plans

A corporate relocation is one of several changes for metal fabricator Taylor-Wharton International (TWI). According to Gasworld, the company intends to move its headquarters from Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, to Minneapolis, Minnesota as part of its new business strategy.

The announcement comes after TWI recently named a new Chief Operating Officer. Eric Rottier, Chief Executive Officer of TWI, said the company will be better equipped to help its customers by moving to a new location.

“We’re entering a new phase for the organization that includes an exciting transformation of how we conduct business, service our customers and interact as team members,” Rottier told the news source.

Global satellite communications provider opens Virginia headquarters

TrustComm, a global satellite communications provider that works with businesses and government agencies, is taking its central operations to Virginia. The Washington Post reports that TrustComm has set up a new office in Stafford, Virginia, which will bring it closer to the nation’s capital.

Houston previously served as the central location for TrustComm. However, the company’s decision to move to Stafford could help its employees better assist members of nearby government agencies.

“We want to be very local to the decision makers,” said Bob Roe, TrustComm’s chief executive. “The other piece of it was I needed to be able to attract very specific, qualified people.”

A corporate move across states affects many people, including employees, their families and their friends. With assistance from a world-class moving company, staff members can receive support throughout the relocation process.

Stevens Worldwide Van Lines is helpful for corporate relocations because it employs trained professionals who will support a business’ workers during every step of a move. The crew members at Stevens have completed thousands of relocations and offer packing advice and equipment to ensure that workers get the assistance they need for moving day.

MO Money

Human Capital, the strength of your organization depends on it. Over the next few weeks millions of business are crunching the numbers and preparing budgets for 2013. It’s not fun for most but the CFOs live for budget season. HR is tasked with preparing the organization for the coming year and beyond. They don’t have the luxury of living in 12 month compartments. The resource decisions made during budget season, as it relates to human capital can effect an organization for years. HR should fight for training, development and better funded relocation packages. An increase of 5 % in these areas can potentially yield a 30 % return, conversely a 5 % cut could lead to employee turnover and the hiring of weaker candidates.
