Toronto Corporate Housing: Relocation Solution

Friday, November 5th, 2010

Toronto corporate housing is a valuable option when it comes to arranging temporary relocation of  a team of employees, or the entire company. Globalization has had an effect on the ways companies big and small do business. Your company may be looking to expand internationally, or maybe just set up shop a few provinces away. Whether the goal is to establish a new branch location or to execute a special project and make connections in a new location, there are a host of logistical concerns to consider. As an incentive to the talented employees you’re hoping to deploy, be sure to offer a convenient housing option that will help make this temporary relocation to Toronto smoother on your company and its people.

There are many reasons why Toronto would be a viable destination for a variety of companies. We’re proud to run our own company in this international hub for business and finance industries. The media, publishing, telecommunications and information technology industries are also flourishing in this provincial capital of Ontario. If your company is one of the many looking to deploy a team here on special assignment or otherwise, consider Toronto corporate housing. Its convenience and value are unparalleled when it comes to housing choices for short-term stay. In a furnished house or suite (outfitted in our office furniture Toronto), your team will be able to settle in quickly and more comfortably. This in turn will encourage maximum productivity at work.

Executive Furniture Rentals offers budget-friendly custom corporate housing packages, which allow you to live in areas where many Toronto corporate housing providers can’t accommodate. Simply locate your ideal unfurnished condominium, apartment or house, secure it, and turn the rest over to us. Our staff has the experience and inventory you’ll need to turn any space into the ideal corporate home, designed for comfort and efficiency. Look over our Toronto corporate housing plans to get a sense of our flexible options. Whatever you decide, we’ll work with you to ensure the smoothest transition possible. One of our packages even includes assistance locating and securing the property!

Employee Relocation on the Horizon for Google’s Employees in China?

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010

According to an article posted on 23 March on WSJ.com, Google might be considering employee relocation for its 600 employees based on Mainland China.  As you might know if you’ve been following tech news lately, Google and the Chinese government have been engaged in a rather high-profile spat lately.  To summarize (via that always-excellent repository of human knowledge, Wikipedia):

On January 12 of this year, Google reported a number of hacker attacks on various Gmail accounts, including some belonging to Chinese human rights activists, and claimed the attacks originated in China.  Google also alleged that other corporations were similarly attacked, and finished its statement by announcing that it would stop censoring the results it returns on Google.cn.  Now, obviously, the Chinese government disapproved of this stance.  Various options were floated and mulled over in subsequent days.  Dithering ensued.  Finally, on March 22, Google redirected its Chinese site, google.cn, to its site located on Hong Kong, google.com.hk, and returned uncensored results.  On March 30, the Chinese government banned all use of Google’s search sites in Mainland China.

Where does this leave the 600 people Google employs in the Middle Kingdom?  There are fears, whether unfounded or not, that some of the employees might have difficulty securing new jobs should Google close its doors on the mainland.  As we stated, and as the Wall Street Journal article suggests, a relocation might be in order.  While Executive Furniture Rentals, over here in Toronto, is a world away, we can at least humbly offer some advice to the search and advertising giant:

Google, you’re experts in web-based applications.  Should you decide to make the move, put your trust in experts of corporate relocation.  Let an organization in the know provide you with all the logistical support you need to succeed in your new home, from beginning to the end.  Make sure it’s an organization that offers it all, from establishing temporary corporate housing to providing comprehensive office furniture rental.

And if Hong Kong doesn’t pan out, there’s always Toronto.

Just pulling your leg!
