DANBURY, Conn., Nov. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Cartus Corporation, a Realogy (NYSE:RLGY) company and the leader in global talent mobility, celebrates the next milestone in its journey to deliver a holistic client and customer experience through the launch of its pioneering core/flex product, Benefits Builder. Instead of searching for the elusive "perfect policy," companies can create their own program designed around a core benefit structure while engaging employees to choose the flexible options that work best for them and their families. Powered by MovePro360SM—Cartus’ exclusive single source of truth platform—Benefits Builder delivers the two most-requested capabilities in relocation today:
- Cost management
- Personalization

Tech-enabled Budgeting and Cost Savings
Based on internal Cartus benchmarking, companies that implement a core/flex program reduce overall program costs by 10-20%, on average—with some seeing savings as high as 60%. That money isn’t hypothetical: one multinational consumer packaged goods company saved more than $20 million dollars in just their first year of using a core/flex program.
Whether designing their first mobility program or relocating thousands of employees a year, Cartus clients, large and small, are able to tailor their relocation strategy for added cost savings. Benefits Builder brings together all of the most important elements of the relocation experience so Mobility and HR professionals can meet their goals in the areas of cost, compliance, talent management, and duty of care.
Flexibility First and Empowerment Through Choice
In the face of a global pandemic, where flexibility reigns supreme, there has never been a more critical time to introduce a solution that puts flexibility first. Benefits Builder can accommodate a points- or currency-based approach, allowing clients to manage their relocation budget while providing relocating employees choice and control during their move. Depending on their culture and business goals, clients can model scenarios based on employee needs assessments or empower transferees to take charge of their own journey and immersion into their new jobs.
From pet transportation to educational assistance to spouse career support, a wide array of services can be selected by transferees according to what makes sense for their family’s needs. The special circumstances of an employee’s personal life may not be obvious to an employer, but Benefits Builder helps transferees make the choices that best suit their situation while aligning with their company’s culture, strategic goals, risk profile, and budget.
