The company is opening a new branch in another city or even abroad. Exciting! There are a lot of things involved in an (international) move. One of them is getting the right staff in the right place. Are you asking some employees to move (temporarily) to occupy certain positions in the foreign office? You can support them by providing housing for them and their families.
Housing your staff? Must-haves to furnish a temporary home
A furnished apartment or house is perfect if you need to provide temporary accommodation for staff abroad. However, in some cases, furnished homes are difficult to find. Renting furniture could then be a good alternative to furnish a temporary residence. After all, it allows the employee to choose their own style since he or she will spend quite some time in the temporary home.
Furnishing temporary accommodation
A temporary residence should be equipped with all conveniences, just like your own home. And of course your employees want that too.
To make them feel as much at home as possible at a foreign location, it is best to provide a cozy bedroom, living room, a kitchen with all necessities and a home office. Is your employee planning on moving with their family? Then the furnishing of the temporary residence must also be equipped accordingly.
Kitchen
The kitchen is one of the most important rooms in a house. In most cases, a kitchen consists of a permanent fixture, but in case this remains rather limited in the apartment or house you are staying in for a while, it can always be expanded with a few kitchen modules. Of course there is more to a kitchen than the kitchen itself. Electrical appliances such as dishwashers, refrigerators and freezers are also essential components. Also crockery, pottery, kitchen towels are indispensable items in a kitchen, whether at home or in a temporary establishment.
Did you know that you can rent all of the above items at In-Lease to complete the furnishment of your kitchen? You don't even have to buy a hand blender and a toaster, all these items are to rent.
Living room
A cozy living room ensures a pleasant ‘homecoming’. Especially for employees who are going through a lot of professional changes due to the move to a new office, an enjoyable home is important. Make sure you have a fully furnished living room with a nice seater, which you can expand in modules for example.
Sufficient storage space like a cupboard or closet, for example, also ensures that your employee can settle in the temporary home.
Did you know that electrical appliances such as a television and stereo system can also be rented at In-Lease? In this way, you can easily provide entertainment for your employee and the family.
Bedroom
A good night's sleep is a prerequisite for functioning well during the day. Since a (professional) move can cause quite some stress, a pleasantly furnished bedroom is a way to sleep well. Do you provide a single bed? Or a double bed because your employee's partner is also moving?
It doesn't stop with a bed alone; Storage space in the bedroom is also needed for clothes and sheets (did you know you can rent sheets?).
And to ensure that your employee also arrives on time for his new professional challenge, you should provide a good alarm clock as well.
Discover all the possibilities in terms of furniture rental for the bedroom:
Home office
Does the company offer the option to occasionally work from home? Then a furnished home office at the new location is a ‘must-have’. With the right desk and an ergonomic office chair, you help your employees to concentrate during home office days.
You can also consider an entire home office package.
Moving with children
If you ask your employees to move for a longer period of time or to a location that is rather far away, there is a good chance that the family will (want to) move with them. Some adjustments might be needed when it comes to furnishing the place; for example, you will generally have to provide more spacious furniture like a large modular seat, and more storage space is needed. Don't forget the decoration of the children's rooms either.
The good news is that you can rent children's bedrooms and baby bedroom furnishments for as long as necessary.
Other items such as a baby chair for the kitchen can certainly come in handy if your employees move abroad with their partner and children.
Garden or balcony
Do you provide a house for staff that also provides a garden or terrace? If the move is for a longer period of time, it can be pleasant to furnish something there as well. After all, with the right garden furniture you ensure that employees can enjoy their outdoor space.
In addition to the fact that furniture rental allows your employee to express his own style in the temporary home, it is also a very flexible solution. Furniture rental therefore has many advantages:
- Let your employees leave their mark on their temporary home by letting them choose the furniture themselves. Thanks to rental furniture you can personalize a temporary home from A to Z.
- Is something broken in the rented furniture or electrical appliances? No problem, thanks to the In-Lease warranty you can count on a replacement or a repairment immediately.
- Furniture rental equals being completely unburdened; you order the furniture online and have it delivered to your employees' place on the agreed day. Even after the rental contract has expired, the used furniture is simply collected again. You don't have to do anything for this yourself.
- Finally, furniture rental is extremely flexible; will your staff stay longer than expected? Then you can easily extend the rental contract. Or you can even choose to buy the rented furniture, so that you immediately have a furnished home for the next employee who comes to work on location.
