New Frontiers in Workplace Mobility: How Atlas Van Lines Is Adapting to a Changing World of Work

As a Platinum Sponsor of CERC 2025, Atlas Van Lines is proud to support the critical conversations shaping the future of global workforce mobility. This year’s conference theme—New Frontiers—highlights the rapid transformation of how people live and work, and how organizations are evolving to support that movement.

For Atlas, these changes aren’t theoretical—they’re driving real, on-the-ground shifts in long-distance moving and corporate relocation strategies across Canada.

Rethinking Mobility: What We’re Seeing on the Ground

The statistics show that today’s employees are more mobile, more flexible, and more cost-conscious than ever before. As a result, the traditional full-service home relocation model is evolving to meet new expectations:

  • Smaller, more flexible moves: Many employees are downsizing or relocating between multiple residences as hybrid work and remote opportunities reshape living patterns.
  • Secured storage solutions: With extended timelines and phased transitions becoming common, storage is no longer a convenience—it’s a necessity.
  • Containerized shipping: Predictability, security, and efficiency are more important than ever, particularly for cross-border and long-haul relocations.
  • Modular services: On-demand, customizable support allows companies to right-size workplace relocation programs without sacrificing quality or experience.

Aligning with Emerging Workforce Mobility Trends

Industry research underscores these trends. According to recent insights from CERC and global mobility surveys, companies are:

  • Adjusting for economic pressures and helping employees relocate to more affordable regions or housing markets
  • Redesigning policies to support employees managing multiple residences or split-location work arrangements
  • Prioritizing employee experience during moves, recognizing its impact on retention and well-being
  • Embedding sustainability into relocation policies to align with ESG goals

These trends aren’t just shaping policy—they’re redefining how organizations select mobility partners. At Atlas, we’re responding with:

  • Flexible, cost-efficient move models backed by real-time tracking and transparent pricing
  • Nationally available containerized and storage options that support phased and hybrid moves
  • A customer-first relocation experience that reflects the needs of both companies and the people they move
  • Partnerships with Trees Canada and Food Banks Canada, bringing purpose to every move through environmental and community support

What’s Next

As the world of work continues to shift, long-distance moving and logistics services must adapt in kind. Atlas is proud to be part of that evolution—delivering strategic, scalable solutions that help organizations support their people, navigate complexity, and plan for the future.
