Abstract

In contemporary business environments, effective management of employee mobility has become paramount for companies striving to maintain competitiveness and sustainability. Neglecting to develop suitable mobility strategies can result in decreased productivity, increased operational costs, and environmental concerns, jeopardising a company's long-term success. Coolwood SA, a middle-sized furniture production company, is planning to relocate its headquarters from Maastricht to Hasselt by 2030, necessitating the design of a sustainable and cost-efficient mobility plan for its employees. This study aims to address this challenge by crafting a tailored mobility strategy that facilitates a seamless transition to the new headquarters. Drawing on insights from literature and empirical research, this study emphasises the importance of effective mobility planning in enhancing employee satisfaction, productivity, and operational efficiency while reducing environmental impact and costs. By analysing employee profiles, mobility measures, and various scenarios, the study identifies the most suitable mobility strategy for Coolwood SA. Through rigorous cost calculations and scenario comparisons, Scenario Two emerges as the most favourable option, offering significant cost reductions and accommodating employees' diverse needs and preferences. The study's findings underscore the importance of strategic and personalised mobility planning for companies undergoing relocation or expansion. By considering factors such as employee profiles, transportation modes, and cost implications, organisations can optimise decision-making and ensure a smooth transition to new locations while promoting long-term economic success and sustainability. This research provides valuable insights and recommendations for Coolwood SA and other companies navigating similar mobility challenges, highlighting the critical role of mobility planning in achieving organisational objectives and fostering employee well-being.
