Employee Mobility Transformation

Turning a fragmented relocation process into a clearer, more accountable end-to-end employee service.

The challenge

Employee-initiated relocation had become a fragmented enterprise service. Requests moved across HR, Payroll, Legal, Compensation, Talent Management, Operations, workplace teams, Finance/AP, Workday, support staff, and ticketing systems. Employees and the teams supporting them experienced blackout periods where status, ownership, and next steps were difficult to see.

The problem was larger than an interface. The experience depended on how information, decisions, documents, policies, and handoffs moved across the organization.

My role

I worked as an Experience Strategy Partner, Lead Designer, UX Project Manager, Research Lead, and change-management liaison. I led research into the current process, mapped workflows and handoffs, translated findings into the future-state experience, and championed clearer end-to-end ownership.

What changed

  • Centralized previously fragmented workflows, communications, status visibility, and document handling into one digital experience.
  • Created a single source of truth for employees, managers, and supporting teams.
  • Clarified routing, handoffs, and accountability across participating functions.
  • Helped establish accountable end-to-end ownership for the service.
  • Moved the redesigned experience into production and active use.
Reported historical outcome: typical requests moved from a process measured in months to one measured in days or weeks. More complex international relocations could still require additional time. Exact historical analytics are no longer available, so the public claim intentionally stays at this level.

Why this case matters

This work is a useful example of the kind of problem I am strongest at: the visible experience was only one part of a larger operating system. Improving it required research, service design, workflow redesign, stakeholder alignment, governance, and enough implementation involvement to make the new model real.

These case studies are different on the surface. The recurring work is the same: understand the system, define a better future state, and help the organization move toward it.
