Spousal Assistance for Couples Who Move
Most talent is part of a two-income household – a fact that should never be overlooked during corporate relocations! Offer spousal assistance to help keep the family whole.
Job Search for Spouse/Partner & Accompanying Talent
Spousal Assistance has expanded to support the needs of all household adults
Numerous mobility studies have confirmed that job loss and career interruption are among the top concerns that prevent couples from accepting a relocation or succeeding in a new location.
Dual-career couples comprise 62% of U.S. families. Preserving two incomes is vital for most couples’ financial security and emotional wellbeing.
The founder of IMPACT Group spearheaded what has become a common practice: providing career planning and job search assistance for the non-employee half of the moving couple.
Still commonly known as spousal assistance, this program is expanding to include career coaching for adults in the employee’s household beyond a spouse or partner.

Couples Get Support to Preserve Both Halves of the Income Equation
Most employees don’t relocate alone – they take loved ones along – and that’s a good thing. Moving as a couple can help deter loneliness and promote wellbeing. And employee wellbeing stimulates many positive cascading effects on the business. In fact, 49% of organizations are investing more in wellbeing during relocations.

Relocation packages today offer what career and job search assistance for any adults in the employee’s household who are moving with the employee. We think of these job seekers as “accompanying talent” – and helping them fulfill their aspirations for career success in an exciting new location is what we do best.
Coaching to Empower Accompanying Talent
IMPACT Group’s relocation coaches empower accompanying talent to take the right steps in their career. Our coaches have the location- and industry-specific knowledge to maximize career opportunities and move careers forward. Job search assistance for the other adults in the employee’s household provides peace of mind at home, allowing employees to be more focused and productive at work.
Stability and comfort go a long way during stressful transitions. This makes job search support and spousal assistance a much-needed lifeline as the household navigates the relocation. From client service representatives to chemical engineers, accompanying talent who relocate with the employee will have personal support for their career goals.
What Spousal Assistance Includes
A coach who is familiar with the local area will help the accompanying talent target specific industries and companies, overcome cultural nuances, and develop a strong network in the new community. We allow individuals to start and stop their job search program as needed, giving them time to focus on the relocation while always having support available.
Our career coaching is complimented by our online career and transition center. The portal offers interactive, industry-leading career tools for every aspect of the job search.
