Brexit: Relocation and Schooling Survey

7 Quick Questions

The June 2016 decision by the UK to withdraw from the EU is causing many global employers to re-evaluate their London footprints. While few organizations have indicated that they will remove all employees from London, several have now gone public regarding plans to move hundreds -- in some cases, thousands -- of London-based employees to cities in other EU member states.

This brief survey is designed to focus specifically on the question of schooling support for those employees who are relocated from London. Aggregate results will be available via report to participants, but due to the sensitive nature of information in this area, individual responses are confidential.
