One coordinator owns the assignment
An employee move fails in the gaps between people. Fusion assigns a single coordinator to each assignee from briefing to final delivery, so nobody is re-explaining the shipment to a new contact at every stage. Your mobility or HR team deals with that one person, and with one person across every concurrent move.
What the coordinator actually does
Briefs the assignee directly
, so HR is not relaying logistics questions back and forth.
Runs the survey
in person or by video and returns a written scope and price before anything is committed.
Books the crew and the freight
around the assignee’s start date, not the other way round.
Owns the customs paperwork
at both ends, including the household-goods relief application where the destination offers one.
Reports status back to your team
at agreed points rather than only when something has gone wrong.
Inside the assignment
Where assignments usually go wrong
Three failures account for most escalations: a start date agreed before anyone checked the shipping calendar; an inventory that does not match what customs is shown; and a destination property that is not ready when the container lands. All three are avoidable at the planning stage, which is why the survey happens before dates are promised to the assignee.
Reporting your team can use
Every assignment carries a reference from first contact. You can see which stage each move is at, what has been committed, and what has been invoiced — consolidated across all live assignments rather than one email thread per employee.
The stages an assignment passes through
Assignments are managed against the same sequence every time, which is what makes them reportable. The assignee is briefed and the survey is booked. The scope and price are issued in writing and approved by you, not by the employee. Packing dates are set against the confirmed start date. The shipment is packed, inventoried and consigned. Export formalities are completed in the UAE and import formalities at destination. Delivery is scheduled against the property being ready. The assignment closes with a final account reconciled against the approved scope.
Because the sequence does not change, an assignment stuck at any stage is visible as a stage that has not closed — rather than as an escalation that reaches your team only once the assignee is unhappy.
Running it at programme scale
Where responsibility sits
The division of labour is worth stating plainly, because ambiguity here is what generates the escalations. Fusion owns the physical move, the paperwork attached to it, and the communication with the assignee about both. Your mobility team owns the entitlement — what the policy covers, and who approves anything outside it. The assignee owns the decisions only they can make: what travels, what is sold, what goes to storage. Anything that crosses those lines is raised with your team before it is agreed with the employee, which is the difference between a managed programme and a series of individual moves.
Cost control across a programme
Individual moves are quoted individually and reconciled individually, which makes it hard to see where a programme is actually spending. Managed as a programme, the pattern becomes visible: which bands are consistently over their entitlement, which destinations generate storage charges, which lead times force air freight that sea freight would have covered. That reporting is the point of consolidating — not the marginal saving on any single shipment, but knowing which clause in the policy is costing you money.
Scaling from one assignee to a programme
The same structure works whether you move two people a year or twenty. What changes at volume is the reporting cadence and the commercial arrangement: at programme scale it is normally worth agreeing rates in advance against defined scopes, so each assignment is a call-off rather than a fresh negotiation. If you are not there yet, a single well-run assignment is the sensible way to test whether the structure holds before you commit a programme to it.
