Comparing Corporate Housing Providers
PUT YOUR MOBILITY PROGRAM INTO HIGH GEAR WITH THE RIGHT CORPORATE HOUSING PARTNER
Corporate housing is a vital element of any company's global mobility program. And like many other types of services, the pricing and capabilities of its vendors vary greatly. On one end of the spectrum, there are small corporate housing providers, local "mom and pop" shops or "by owner" vendors that over extend their reach and then charge excessive third party fees back to the client. Even the largest corporate housing providers, if they own their own properties, tack on extra fees when they can not supply inventory or services themselves. On the other end of the spectrum is National Corporate Housing, a corporate housing provider with the ability to fulfill any mobility challenge for companies. Here are four reason the you need to immediately break free from your supply chain provider status quo chains.
LOCAL EXPERTISE IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE TOTAL GUEST EXPERIENCE
We care about a strong, positive customer experience. Having local feet on the street is an invaluable resource in corporate housing. Someone with area knowledge and a better sense of communication with local vendors, contractors and repair people naturally become better customer service and a greater experience with their corporate housing and in turn your brand.
FOUR WAYS NATIONAL STANDS OUT AMONG CORPORATE HOUSING PROVIDERS
1. Freedom of options is vital for both the business and the business traveler.
Businesses need their people on the road to have little to no disruption. Finding properties in close proximity to the work destination can be vital in reducing the stress of commuting and traveling. Some corporate housing providers can only place travel guests in properties they own regardless of the distance to the work location. This will directly affect the human capital experience for the business traveler. National will work with you to place your people as close to your work destinations as possible with the most competitive rates in the market.
You can also increase and upgrade the human capital experience by providing housing options that can bring a business traveler closer to the comforts of home, wherever they are. We have great variety in options for most corporate housing budgets or daily rates.
2. Premium quality is reflected by excellence in customer service.
The main ingredient to National's success is our driving emphasis on "Surprisingly Superior Service". National is proud of its long legacy of award-winning, high-touch customer service. From our patented PERFECT MOVE-IN PROCESS to our guest portals and property support to our after hours/emergency phone lines, National can raise the human capital experience of your mobile workforce with our attention to every housing detail.
3. Responsive businesses choose corporate housing near their travel destinations, NOT where the provider's properties happen to be located.
We recognize the importance of choice, it is one of the significant offerings of the modern era. Before you were assigned housing and you would deal with it. Now, as a business traveler, you can select options more accommodating to your personal style and lifestyle. Stay in the vibrant areas of a city or with more privacy in a quieter part of town. The options are there with National as opposed to our competition which will force you to fit into their offerings as opposed to listening to your wants and needs.
4. The right corporate housing provider can natively support a majority of your global mobility needs.
While corporate housing is National's forte, we offer a total mobility portfolio that can support a wide, diverse array of needs from travel and destination services to talent solutions to rental assistance post-stay, National can offer strong support as a capable, signified partner. So if you go through a relocation management company or do it yourself internally, National can be that perfect partner to fill in any gaps in your mobility game.

Some Corporate Housing Providers are reducing their large inventory and embracing a sourcing platform model. National is a thought-leader and industry captain in this space.
Some large corporate housing providers have been changing their business model to include a reduction of owned inventory and more direct focus on creating a sourcing platform. At National, we have been conducting business in this space for years. Reducing inventory creates a cost increase due to third party and a decrease in the quality control of inventory and service. National has total control of inventory and services in our network of quality partners.
