A successful relocation depends on how well the employee and their family adjust to life in a new community.

On this episode of Relocation Leader, Zac sits down with Heather Lofton, Director of Relationship Management at GO Destination Services, to explore the role destination services play in helping families settle into an unfamiliar location
.
Heather explains how local consultants support employees with housing, schools, transportation and everyday needs while providing the personal guidance that online research cannot replicate. As well as why family acclimation affects employee focus, engagement, retention and the overall success of an assignment.

The duo examines how destination services have evolved beyond completing a checklist, what makes an effective local consultant and how technology can create more time for meaningful human interaction. Drawing from six relocations with her own family, Heather shares why understanding each person’s priorities can help turn an overwhelming move into a place that feels like home.

International relocations rarely go exactly as planned. Behind every successful assignment is a team coordinating immigration, temporary housing, household goods, destination services, and countless moving parts across countries and time zones.

On this episode of Relocation Leader, Zac sits down with Janelle Brady, Regional Manager for Americas and EMEA, and Alia Mudloff, Lead Account Executive for International Services, to explore what life is really like behind the scenes of global mobility.

They discuss the role of an international account executive, how they guide employees and HR teams through complex relocations, and why communication, critical thinking, and strong global partnerships matter when timelines change or unexpected challenges arise. Along the way, they share memorable stories from the field—including emergency relocations, unusual housing situations, and the realities of supporting employees around the world.

For HR and mobility leaders, this conversation offers an inside look at the work required to turn complicated international assignments into successful employee experiences.

What happens when two places feel familiar, but operate by a different set of unwritten rules?
Brett Parry from Aperian returns to Relocation Leader for a conversation on how regional cultures in the United States can mirror, contrast with, and sometimes mislead our expectations of business environments around the world. From San Francisco, Chicago, and Warsaw to London, Tokyo, and Sydney, the discussion explores how communication styles, relationship-building, trust, and workplace expectations can vary in ways that are easy to overlook.
The takeaway is practical: cultural preparation is not about memorizing rules. It is about learning to question assumptions, read the room more effectively, and enter new environments with the awareness needed to build trust, adapt well, and succeed personally and professionally.
