FastTrack beyond speed: Getting over the fear of change

Not changing a mobility provider is often about a fear of the transition itself.

The need to change is there: poor service levels, an inability to show tangible and substantial cost savings over the course of the partnership or a lack of innovative thinking. Yet there is still a fear of change.

Some transitions can take time and a lot of coordination. They potentially create moments of vulnerability with your internal stakeholders or your relocating employees. But the real issue and problem creator is standing still.

As reported in our last article, AIRINC’s 2023 analysis revealed that poor transitions can trigger assignment failures, this has a genuine cost impact on a business valued at $500,000 to $1million per case because of early repatriation and personnel replacement. Meanwhile, ongoing inefficiencies in procurement and program oversight silently erode your teams capacity.

This is the very environment FastTrack was created for. A service not just built for speed, but for confidence and success planning. We deliver transitions that are fully supported, clearly communicated, and grounded in expert-led processes from the start.

Your program will be managed by a FastTrack team that includes:

  • Senior implementation managers with a combined 70+ years of experience.
  • Dedicated finance and procurement liaisons who align with your teams.
  • InfoSec and legal experts who clear compliance checkpoints swiftly and securely
  • Communications specialists who can handle change narratives for stakeholders and assignees.

Because we understand that fear of change is really fear of disruption, we’ve designed FastTrack to minimise it, turning what’s usually a 3-4 month effort into a 10-day activation.

And if you’re still unsure? We’ll connect you with clients who were once in the same position and are now seeing results.

Let’s explore what that could look like for you. Download our brochure or talk to us about running a no-obligation pilot.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to the questions we hear most about global mobility.

How much does a failed international assignment cost a company?

+

Poor relocation transitions that trigger assignment failure carry a genuine cost impact of $500,000 to $1 million per case. This figure comes from AIRINC's 2023 analysis.

It reflects the combined cost of early repatriation and personnel replacement when a move breaks down, with risk highest when a company is switching relocation management company providers and the transition is poorly managed.

How long does it usually take to switch relocation management company providers?

+

A relocation management company transition usually takes 3 to 4 months to complete, covering coordination across procurement, finance, compliance and communications as a mobility programme moves to a new provider.

K2's FastTrack service compresses this into a 10-day activation, using a dedicated implementation team, finance and procurement liaisons, and InfoSec and legal specialists to manage the process from the start.

Why do companies delay switching relocation providers even when service is poor?

+

Companies often delay switching relocation providers because the transition itself feels risky, even when the case for change is clear. Common triggers include poor service levels, an inability to show tangible cost savings, and a lack of innovative thinking from the current provider.

Transitions take time and coordination, and can create moments of vulnerability with internal stakeholders and relocating employees, a dynamic often described as fear of disruption rather than fear of change.
