Rethinking Relocation: Why Managed Budget is the Future of Mobility Policy

Written by Michelle Curran | 09.04.2025

As mobility programs evolve, one trend is gaining serious momentum — the shift to a Managed Budget model. Gone are the days when mobility meant choosing between inflexible managed services or opaque lump sum payments. Today’s leading companies are adopting a structured, budget-controlled approach that delivers both cost predictability and employee satisfaction.

A Managed Budget policy offers employees flexibility to choose benefits that best match their personal needs — from Airbnb stays to shipping services — all while ensuring spending visibility, compliance, and control for the business. Whether used as a standalone model or embedded within a Core-Flex framework, the Managed Budget approach allows mobility leaders to scale their programs confidently, track ROI, and respond to evolving business needs.
