Cuando la empresa tiene que fichar también a la familia
El salario y el coche ya no bastan. Fichar a un profesional exige convencer a su entorno y hoy la familia es el principal obstáculo en la contratación, un 'stakeholder' invisible capaz de frenar cualquier fichaje estratégico. Leer
Hiring talented individuals is no longer solely about job perks, salary, or corporate prestige. A new analysis reveals that a candidate's family can be the most challenging aspect to recruit. The rise of family as stakeholders in the hiring process has led to increasingly complex relocations. Many families face difficulties when executives are transferred, with reasons ranging from housing concerns to educational challenges for children.
This shift in dynamics is particularly evident as baby boomers retire, making way for younger executives with established families. According to a recent survey, 59% of companies experienced employees rejecting relocation offers in 2025, with family matters being the primary reason. Companies are now adapting to these challenges by designing comprehensive relocation packages that cater to both the employee and their family's needs.
These packages include temporary housing, assistance with selling or buying homes, school enrollment, healthcare support, and even help in finding employment for spouses. By addressing these familial concerns, companies hope to improve talent retention and reduce turnover costs, which can be substantial in the upper echelons of management.
