Stories from the Field - June Edition

Introducing our new monthly content series

At Sprout, we believe the most powerful insights come from real experiences. That's why we're launching monthly content themes that dive deep into the heart of global mobility – starting with the stories that matter most.

This month, we're spotlighting "Stories from the Field" – authentic narratives from the front lines of employee relocation that showcase both the challenges and triumphs of global mobility in today's complex world. Below here our first Real Relocation Story – from mobility professionals who've navigated interesting requests to unexpected challenges.

These aren't just success stories – they're learning opportunities that reveal the human side of global mobility and the innovative solutions that emerge when companies prioritize their people during uncertain times. Because behind every relocation statistic is a person, a family, and a story worth telling.

International jet-setter, Cinnamon - safe & sound in his new home in Toronto, Canada.

“We had an employee repatriating back to Canada after a couple of back-to-back assignments in Asia. She had a miniature poodle named Cinnamon that was being flown back to Toronto. One evening, I received a call from this assignee that her dog was enroute to Toronto and she noticed that the plane diverted to Germany. She needed to know that her dog landed safe in Germany and was okay, as the dog had been suffering from seizures lately. Our team got a hold of the counsellor at the RMC and had them reach out to the pet shipper to provide a check-in and update on the dog. We ended up getting photos of Cinnamon a couple of hours later and all was well with him! The employee was grateful to us, and relieved that everything was okay.”

Because pets are part of our families.
