CERC MEMBERSHIP meaning it is the people being relocated and how the employee and family get through the process that is important. I wanted to learn more about the best approach for this from CERC and the mobility industry.” Mayers recently attended a CERC networking “Lunch & Learn” event in Toronto on tax, immigration, mobility and real estate. She found the session instructive and informative, and, more importantly, the CERC members she met there warm and welcoming. This, she stresses, is important: “The networking with peers [is] probably the key member benefit for me. Our mobility team at Canada Post is small, so meeting and talking with my mobility peers at CERC events is very valuable.” While chatting with one of her peers at the Toronto gathering, Mayers had the opportunity to learn about a group within CERC looking at how to best utilize AI in relocation. It’s one of many initiatives CERC undertakes to develop best prac- tices for mobility, which Mayers views as “another important aspect of CERC’s member benefits.” Overall, says Mayers, there are four key areas where the CERC membership will assist her and her team in strengthening Canada Post’s existing relocation program. First, it will help them learn how peers are incorporating flexibility into their programs. Second, it will provide them with a stronger understanding of housing markets across Canada. Third, it will allow them to learn about the key mobility metrics that really matter and how they can be used to drive continuous improve- ment, and lastly, it will enable them to explore how AI is changing the mobility business. Another element of CERC services Mayers is excited about is the industry- specific online educational programming provided through Seneca Polytechnic University. “I’m glad to see that CERC has an educational program for the mobility industry that is offered through Seneca as an online course. This makes it more accessible to people working in the industry like me,” she says. To sum up, Mayers is tremendously pleased with her CERC membership so far, looking forward to what’s to come: “Though I have only been a member of CERC for a short time, I’m impressed with the wide range of member benefits they offer and I’m excited in general about being a member of this association that represents such a ‘hidden gem’ industry.” P R O F E S S I O N A L S E R V I C E S D I R E C T O R Y DESTINATION/SETTLING IN Welcomehome Relocations Inc. ............. 7 www.whrelocations.com EXTENDED STAY Les Suites Hotel Ottawa ......................... 4 www.les-suites.com MOVING & STORAGE SERVICES Atlas Van Lines (Canada) Ltd. ............Outside Back Cover www.atlasvanlines.ca Quality Move Management Inc. ............ 3 www.qmm.com Riverbend Movers .................................. 8 https://riverbendmovers.com/ Taylor Moving and Storage Ltd. ............ 7 www.ataylormoving.com NATIONAL & GLOBAL RELOCATION SERVICES RELONAT ....
