Moving for work can be overwhelming for both employees and employers. There are logistics to sort, timelines to juggle, and people to support through a big transition. But one thing that can make the entire process smoother is finding the right place to stay.
At Compass Furnished Apartments, we provide relocation assistance with corporate housing that helps professionals settle in faster, feel more comfortable, and stay focused on what matters most: the job ahead.
Whether you’re moving a single employee or an entire team, here’s how corporate housing makes relocation easier and how our team helps every step of the way.
What Is Relocation Assistance?
Relocation assistance is a support package offered by companies to help employees move for work. It can include a range of services like:
- Housing assistance
- Travel reimbursement
- Moving and shipping services
- Temporary living expenses
- Per diems or meal stipends
Relocating for work? Skip the stress and stay somewhere that works for you. Find move-in ready corporate housing today.
Corporate housing is often a central part of that package. It gives relocating employees a soft landing, basically a move-in ready, fully furnished place to stay while they get settled in a new city.
What qualifies as relocation assistance? Any support provided to ease the financial, logistical, or emotional burden of moving for work can qualify as relocation assistance. Most companies customize their relocation packages depending on the role, location, and length of assignment.
Why Corporate Housing Makes Employee Moves Easier
Corporate housing is designed to take the stress out of temporary living. At Compass, our apartments are fully furnished and ready to go from day one. No furniture shopping, utility setup, or waiting on Wi-Fi installation.
Instead of navigating a long-term lease or booking a hotel room for weeks on end, employees get a space that feels like home without the long-term commitment.
Here’s what makes corporate housing ideal for relocation:
- Move-in ready spaces with furniture, housewares, and linens
- Reliable Wi-Fi and dedicated workspaces
- Full kitchens for healthier, more affordable meals
- In-unit or onsite laundry
- Flexible lease terms (from 30 days to several months)
- Locations close to work, schools, and public transportation
And perhaps most importantly is peace of mind. Employees can focus on their new role instead of worrying about where they’re going to sleep next week.
“When people are relocating for work, they don’t need another thing to manage,” says the Compass Guest Experience team. “We give them one less thing to worry about by making the housing part as easy as possible.”
Who Qualifies for Corporate Housing?
Corporate housing isn’t just for executives, it’s used by all kinds of professionals, including:
- New hires relocating for full-time roles
- Employees on short-term assignments or rotations
- Healthcare professionals with temporary contracts
- Consultants working on-site for specific projects
- Interns and co-op students
Who qualifies for corporate housing? Anyone moving for work can qualify, especially if the relocation is supported by HR or included in a company travel policy. At Compass, we work directly with companies, recruiters, and mobility teams to coordinate stays and make billing and booking simple.
Whether you’re booking for one employee or an entire team, our experts are here to help. Talk to us about your relocation needs.

Real Relocation Scenarios
