Benefits
-
Having a company assist with moving costs means less of a personal financial investment in the relocation process. The company may also provide a temporary place to live as well as transportation before, during and even after the move. Relocation packages are generally substantial enough to cover the expense of physically moving your home and belongings, as well as a stipend for a place to reside (such as a short stay hotel or subleased apartment) until you find something more permanent.
Significance
-
The relocation itself shows a commitment on behalf of both the employee, for making the move, and the company, for assisting with the process. In many instances, corporate relocation is reserved for employees in more prominent positions in the company, as well as new hires and star recruits.

Considerations
-
Before accepting a corporate relocation package, get all of the information in writing and with details. This ensures that the employee is aware of his financial responsibility when it comes to any relocation/lodging costs. Schedule a meeting with a human resources team member to go over the relocation package and get answers about anything that is unclear.
