About EuRA
The European Relocation Association (EuRA) is an organization that educates and trains relocation and global mobility professionals to help improve the industry. You can benefit from EuRA’s support whether you’re already an expert of the business or a newbie.
They have many different objectives as a company, some of which are to have and promote a high level of service and to disseminate information about the industry. As well as “to encourage the development of a professional relocation qualification”.
EuRA members guide the organization by their values, which are compassion, integrity, teamwork, sustainability, diversity, and non-profit.
They have their very own “[…] accreditation programme for relocation providers”, which also happens to be the first one of its kind in the world! It’s called Global Quality Seal Plus. They claim that those that are EGQS+ certified are known for their high-level skills in relocation matters. So you could really consider getting it if you want to improve your knowledge and have the certification to back it up.
If you like what this organization stands for, don’t hesitate in becoming a member. There are three different membership types to choose from. There’s the Full Membership for “[…] destination service providers and relocation management companies …” that have over two years of experience. There’s also the Associate Membership, which is also for destination service providers and relocation management companies. But in this case, they must have less than two years of experience. Don’t worry, because they can upgrade to the Full Membership once they pass the two years. Finally, there’s the Supplier Membership for “[…] companies whose commercial activities are linked to and used by relocation service providers”.
