DelSuites Champions Global Mobility at the CERC Conference 2023

September 7, 2023

Are you a business looking to relocate employees? Are you an employee needing a comfortable and cost-effective housing solution for your next move? DelSuites is here to help. 

We are proud to announce our participation in the 2023 Canadian Employee Relocation Council (CERC) Conference, which will be examining global mobility solutions that provide comfort and convenience for businesses and their personnel. 

Global mobility refers to the process of relocating people from one location to another for work purposes. This includes both domestic relocations within Canada as well as international moves across borders. 

The 2023 CERC Conference will explore how organizations can overcome the challenge of providing their employees with international housing solutions that meet both business and lifestyle needs. 

We’ll examine how global mobility is essential for businesses today and how our DelSuites solutions provide cost-effective and comfortable relocation options for your personnel. 

What is the CERC?

The Canadian Employee Relocation Council is a membership organization dedicated to providing leadership and assistance to members to effectively serve relocated workers and families, both domestically and internationally. 

The organization has over 500 members from across Canada, the United States and beyond. CERC helps its members increase their expertise in workforce mobility by offering programs, publications and services and a forum for corporations and service organizations to communicate more efficiently. 

This contributes greatly to Canada’s economy, with an estimated $2.5 billion yearly contribution! CERC also represents some of the top employers in Canada – including 828,000 people employed by 4 of the top 5 Canadian banks, 6 of the top 7 energy companies, and more. 

As a result, CERC members have an asset value totalling over $6.1 trillion! With all this in mind, it’s no wonder why participating in the 2023 CERC Conference is so beneficial for those looking to take their career to new heights. 

Introduction to the 2023 CERC Conference

As the global mobility industry evolves, CERC’s 2023 conference guides us towards a more proactive and strategic approach.  The event aims to help organizations view global mobility as an essential tool for achieving business objectives rather than merely relocating employees worldwide on a cut-and-paste basis. 

At the conference, industry experts, including DelSuites, will discuss how talent management, skills development, and diversity and inclusion can be successfully implemented into corporate strategies. 

If you’re looking to stay ahead of the curve, the CERC conference is a one-stop shop for staying up to date on the latest industry trends and networking with peers from across North America and beyond. 

Reasons for the Need to Advocate Change in Global Mobility

Navigating the complexities of global mobility can seem overwhelming. The 2023 CERC conference advocates for change to make it easier for organizations and their employees to relocate. 

Most organizations report that the lack of available and affordable housing has at least a moderate impact on their domestic and international programs, with 50 percent reporting a significant impact on their programs. 

Other difficulties include: 

  • High costs associated with relocating personnel, such as travel expenses, shipping goods overseas, etc.
  • Complex legal regulations that vary from country to country
  • Difficulty in finding suitable housing in a new city or country
  • Language barriers and cultural differences that can be difficult to navigate 

These challenges can potentially “stall” businesses from achieving their goals, making it difficult for them to relocate personnel across borders. 

The Value of CERC Membership in Enhancing Relocation

As a member of the Canadian Employee Relocation Council, you can gain access to powerful tools and processes that will help your business leverage employee mobility in new and innovative ways. 

Their vision works to be the voice of change for this industry, while their mission is focused on advancing global mobility through partnerships, research, education and government relations. 

The benefits of being a CERC member are: 

  • Government relations: Staying informed about current regulations and laws related to employee relocation in Canada. 
  • Knowledge: Connecting with experts from all over the world who share their insights into best practices within employee relocation. 
  • Education: Learning from the experiences of others in the industry through lectures, workshops and conferences. 
  • Affinity programs such as TerningPoint: Offer protection for destination service providers with their truly international professional liability insurance program that is designed to meet unique needs. 

With CERC, you can be sure that your business has access to the latest information related to employee relocation and benefits from a supportive network of experts who are passionate about refining these processes.

DelSuites Partners with AGTA Home Health Care to Take Accessible Travel Farther

May 4, 2022

DelSuites has always been proud to offer a comfortable, private space to call home while recovering from important medical procedures. Because our properties are located near the specialized care units at major Toronto hospitals, we know how medical stays impact every aspect of a family’s life—and we work hard to make that challenge a little warmer, more comfortable, and more livable.

Now you can unlock a 7% discount on the medical supplies you need to make a post-hospital stay easier—and bring a new level of support to the hard work of healing.

DelSuites has partnered with AGTA Home Health Care to add peace of mind, dignity, and professional support for the people who come through our doors to recover. With 22 years’ experience supporting aging, injured, and physically challenged clients—or anyone who just needs a little extra support around the house—AGTA brings proven care and accessibility to the privacy and comfort of a DelSuites furnished rental in Toronto.

Whether you’re coming to Toronto for an important medical stay or planning everyday travel while living with a few extra needs, DelSuites and AGTA let you enjoy Toronto worry-free, in a warm, luxurious space you can happily call home.

Bringing health care to you on your medical stays

AGTA Home Health Care brings the DelSuites ethic of hospitality to health care: letting people stay—or heal—at home, whether home is permanent or temporary.

AGTA’s founder, Vince Agovino, has been caring for people since 1995. His experience of the formidable challenges friends and families face when organizing home care for their loved ones spurred him to found AGTA Home Health Care.

AGTA understands how all the puzzle pieces—personal support, medical expertise, and the right supplies—come together to make the difference between navigating your space and enjoying it. They bring together everything you need to make a positive recovery or live in a truly accessible space.

AGTA’s one-stop, accessible website lets you buy or affordably rent medical supplies and assistive devices for as long as you need the support. With everything from cast protectors for easy showering, easy-grip kitchen knives, wheelchairs, crutches, and ramps, they will ensure you have everything needed, prior to your arrival.

AGTA also works seamlessly with funders like WSIB, ODSP, and the Ontario Assistive Devices Program to help conveniently improve your quality of life.

On the human side, AGTA offers full, 24-hour home health care visits. AGTA’s compassionate, professional staff of personal support workers and in-home nurses are pre-qualified with Toronto’s Home and Community Care Support Services—so you know your care is top-notch. AGTA seamlessly coordinates care with your medical team so you can recover in comfort and privacy—and family members can focus on being there.

A seamless way to plan an accessible stay

Our partnership with AGTA doesn’t just open doors for those recovering from medical procedures. Travelers living with disabilities or chronic health issues frequently work a little harder to get the comfortable, luxurious travel experience everyone expects. AGTA and DelSuites let you consider that work handled.

The open, accessible layouts of DelSuites units are built for everyday living. With full kitchen and laundry facilities, accessible indoor parking, and wide, spacious doors and bathtubs, we’ve got the basics of an accessible stay. But with AGTA, travelers can affordably rent the small modifications that take those basics to a full-fledged accessible solution: bath steps, tub rails, back support, and more.

It’s a way to focus on what you’re in Toronto to do, see, taste, and enjoy, instead of working hard to source the tools you’ll need to overcome barriers. And if you need personal support workers—some days or every day—it’s a way to open Toronto up to you as a warm, welcoming, fun travel destination.

With DelSuites, the everyday costs of living are always included in our rates: WiFi, phone plans, cable TV, linens service, and the use of our buildings’ recreational and fitness amenities. AGTA’s affordable equipment rental rates make Toronto travel not just physically, but financially accessible.

All you have to do is pick up the key to your DelSuites rental. With a pre-trip order to AGTA, all the supplies you need can be waiting for you.

All you need to do is arrive

Both DelSuites and AGTA understand that hospitality is everything. It’s core to a warm travel experience; it catches us after a hard health scare; it’s what lets us age at home. We’re proud to come together to make everything about Toronto travel and medical stays easier—and make much more possible.
