An Introduction to Runzheimer International

Founded in 1933, Runzheimer International Ltd. is a management consulting firm that provides a comprehensive range of employee mobility services relating to business vehicles, relocation, travel management, aircraft, and virtual office programs.  Runzheimer International serves upwards of 2,000 businesses and government organizations worldwide, including more than 60 percent of Fortune 500 companies.  Runzheimer’s data and standard cost reimbursement systems are the basis for over $18 billion in direct allowances or reimbursements, annually, to more than 1 million employees of clients.

 

For more than 75 years, we have been dedicated to research, analysis, and reporting of employee mobility programs, which provide a fact-based foundation for our consulting services.  All Runzheimer research and information rests upon a foundation of standardized data-gathering processes, proven methodology, tested survey procedures, and sound statistical practices. 

 

The majority of our information services and products consist of data supported and surrounded by computerized systems.  These services include but are not limited to data collection, data entry (including development of computerized data entry screens featuring real-time data validation), methodology creation (developing, programming, and applying sophisticated data manipulation methods), and applications designed to resolve practical business issues.

 

We undertake specialized projects, surveys, and studies to meet specific requirements of individual organizations and government agencies.  Our information products incorporate client-provided parameters, and our report data is geographically sensitive.  A fundamental strength that Runzheimer brings to its projects is a base of knowledge, expertise and data on both corporate and government policies, procedures, and costs that allow us to provide our clients with benchmarks and best practices.

Specific Capabilities

SIN 599-1 Travel Consultant Services

For decades, travel managers, media, and the travel and broader mobility industries have recognized Runzheimer as a leader in travel and mobility management.  Our expertise in data gathering, research, and analysis is the cornerstone to our highly respected and knowledgeable consultants who have assisted organizations and government agencies in the development and implementation of cost-effective, leading-edge travel and other mobility programs and processes.  In addition, we often act as educators to other consulting organizations that require accurate and defensible information to assist in their consulting endeavors.

 

Runzheimer should be distinguished from other consulting firms insofar as we specialize in human resource mobility, the movement of employees from one place to another.  No other firm concentrates on travel (TDY, Temporary Duty Travel; TCS, Temporary Change of Station), relocation (PCS, Permanent Change of Station) and other mobility management from our unique perspective.  Consequently, our consultants are a valuable resource to personnel already occupied full-time with other work, yet facing inescapable demands to reduce cost and increase efficiency (or prove they have the lowest cost and greatest efficiency), all this while sustaining a satisfied workforce.  Runzheimer is uniquely qualified to assist organizations in meeting their travel and mobility management objectives because:

     Runzheimer's consulting staff is experienced, authoritative and generally acknowledged to be experts in our areas of specialization.

     Runzheimer is compelled to produce a quality of work for its clients that will reinforce a hard-earned reputation for honesty, thoroughness and expertise sustained since 1933.

     Runzheimer has established a unique relationship with the travel and other mobility industries.  Public and private organizations regularly participate in our published surveys that analyze policies, trends, and issues.

     Runzheimer has acted as a "middle man" for clients seeking relationships with travel and mobility management companies and service firms.  In this role, Runzheimer is considered an unbiased information clearinghouse by clients and service firms.

     Runzheimer maintains survey databases on travel policy standards and administration methods.  The surveys provide a foundation for the most comprehensive policy and program resources in their respective industries.  These surveys are regularly cited as authoritative sources for costs, processes, policies, and trends.

 

Our consultants apply facilitation expertise and quality-management skills and capabilities (for example, brainstorming and affinity grouping, force-field analysis, flowcharting and process analysis, meeting management, leading discussion groups), as needed, in conducting their projects.  We base our quality management model on Deming’s PDSA cycle, which stands for Plan, Do, Study, Act.  With every contract or Task Order completed, Runzheimer works with its clients to Study what has been done in an effort to improve service.  The focus of these meetings (both internal and with clients) is to review current processes and identify opportunities for enhancement.  In all our government contracts, we emphasize that continuous improvement is essential to long-term success and mutual achievement of goals and objectives.

 

In the rapidly changing areas that fall under human resource logistics, strategic planning is essential for today’s consulting projects to promote policies and programs for tomorrow.  As organizational-change consultants, we help organizations develop policies and implement change, and, in our areas of specialization, we are recognized experts. 

 

Runzheimer has extensive expertise in management of complex projects with short turnaround times.  Runzheimer has proven ability to coordinate and oversee multiple subcontractors in conjunction with our internal teams for successful completion of large-scale projects.  To aid in communication and management, Runzheimer applies various project management tools and techniques, such as responsibility matrices, work flow diagrams, process/people flowcharts, and project scheduling software. 

 

Subsequent work undertaken for a client depends on recommendations and decisions for action.  In many cases, Runzheimer assumes the task of securing the services of qualified vendors, from development of a Request for Proposal through final negotiations.  Runzheimer typically phases its projects, completing an analysis with recommendations for action as the first phase.  Subsequent actions focus on those recommendations selected by the client for implementation.

 

Core competencies include specialized data gathering, policy development, program evaluation, vendor selection, operational audits, benchmarking, cost audits, allowance and reimbursement programs, software system selection and assessment, employee and industry surveys, and seminars/workshops/training.

 

Specialized Data Gathering:  Both domestically and internationally, we will gather data through statistically sound measurement, research, or survey processes, as appropriate.  We are experts at transforming raw data into information, an essential expertise for data mining.  We are recognized for developing and applying data for benchmark purposes, ranging from expenditures to process efficiency to best practices.  We are recognized for our research capabilities in all areas of cost (housing, transportation, goods and services, airfare, lodging, meals, etc.)

 

Policy Development:  Consultants assist clients with preparation of policies suitable to organizational goals, objectives, culture, and the changing travel or relocation environment.  In general, Runzheimer views policy development as reflecting not where an organization is but where it wants to go; consequently, projects involving policy rewrites typically become an opportunity to implement organizational change.  A policy project may include a due diligence cost study (as-is vs. to-be), best practice(s) assessment, benchmarking (cost, typical policies among organizations), and development of tiered approaches for personnel categories and/or diversified organizational missions.

 

Program Evaluation:  Runzheimer has conducted various program evaluation studies for the federal government.  For example, we have conducted multiple assessments of GSA’s City Pair Program (CPP).  We have provided consulting expertise in all facets of the CPP, including an end-to end program review, an impact analysis, negotiation strategy development, and program management support.

 

 

Vendor Selection/Evaluation:  Our consultants assist clients with selection of and negotiation with services firms.  Runzheimer undertakes vendor satisfaction assessments, prepares SOWs (Statement of Work), manages the solicitation process, contributes to assessment of competing vendors, and provides expertise for contract discussions.  We work with vendors and their clients to achieve process efficiencies, improve performance, and assess complementary satisfaction.

 

Operational Audits:  Central issues in most travel and other mobility management departments are whether an organization (or its contracted representatives) does what policies stipulate, whether policies should change in response to the evolving industry or discipline, and what will be the impact of proposed changes.  An audit should be viewed as a first step toward changes that improve the operation, not as a way to reach consensus on acceptance of the status quo.  An operational audit in travel management typically includes:  policy compliance, achievement of best value, trip budgeting and management, travel-purchasing process productivity, travel management information systems and reports, activity measurement and achievement of program objectives, payment and reimbursement systems.  A comprehensive study offers significant opportunity for improvement.

 

Benchmarking:  The first step in a benchmarking project led by Runzheimer is to work with the client to define the term as it relates to organization goals.  Once all parties agree on what is to be done and why it is being done, Runzheimer undertakes the necessary research.  We work with our clients to ensure they understand the challenge (and potential failure) of undertaking process changes when organizational systems of a benchmarking partner or best-practices company and a client’s organization may be entirely different. 

 

Cost Audits:  Consultants assist clients with identification of opportunities to cut or control travel costs by analyzing travel patterns, travel costs and process costs.  We analyze organizational travel geography to establish initiatives for using a geographic strategy to lower costs.  Consequently, management can improve travel management operations.

 

Allowance & Reimbursement Programs:  Consultants assist companies in assessing or establishing allowance or reimbursement programs, such as lump sum payments or cost-of-living allowances.  Consultants assist organizations in assessing or establishing per diem programs.

 

Software Selection and Assessment:  As the automation of travel management evolves, Runzheimer leads the industry in software assessment and selection methods.  Our rigorous software assessment process provides agencies and firms a standardized approach to evaluating existing and/or competing travel management systems.   We ensure the system integrates effectively with users, their processes, and travel program/policies.  Following the selection process, we guide agencies and firms in the implementation of the software system and adoption by users, aligning it with their travel program goals.

 

Seminars, Workshops, Training:  Runzheimer consultants regularly customize training programs for clients to accomplish new-process introduction, policy changes, and installation of new supplier partnerships.  Runzheimer experts regularly provide informational seminars on best practices in travel management and mobile employee management.


SIN 599-1000 Contract Support Items (Database Products)

Under this category, Runzheimer has included the following database products:

·         Short and Long Term Per Diem – An allowance system for employees on official travel or temporarily assigned (6-18 months) to a location.

·         Runzheimer Two Location Comparisons - A product that measures living cost differences between any two locations.  It is used by corporate clients to assess differences in a transferee's purchasing power between locations.

·         Lump Sum Allowances - A product specific to an employee's family size and organization's relocation-related travel policies (typically for homefinding and final move), it measures a lump sum amount necessary to cover relocation expenses (airfare, lodging, meals, ground transportation, etc.)

·         Travel Management Network – An online information reference for travel, financial and strategic sourcing professionals interested in benchmarking travel policies and costs.  Through this web-based service, Runzheimer offers extensive travel data and information valued by travel managers worldwide to improve their travel program and prove its value to the organizations.

 

Short and Long Term Per Diem

These reports provide an allowance plan for employees on temporary duty (TDY) travel as well as longer (6-18 months), assignments to a location.  Short term per diems are best applied to short term TDY travel.  Alternatively, Runzheimer offers a Long Term Per Diem to assist administrators in determining allowances for longer-term, yet still temporary, assignments.  Runzheimer works with its client to ensure that policy parameters are consistent with organizational objectives, which can include:

·         Number of bedrooms per unit

·         Percentage of meals to be eaten in restaurants

·         Level of meal costs

·         Class of car rental

·         Components to be included

 

Of course, clients may have multiple policies to reflect the different needs of different assignments.

 

The report displays daily, weekly, and monthly allowance rates.  Each report is customized to reflect the specific circumstances of each transferee:  airfare or commutation, work site, length of stay, family size, type of accommodation (furnished or unfurnished home or apartment), personal expense allowances, and amenities to achieve a “home-away-from-home” atmosphere.  Within the housing category, organizations may include the cost of a housewares package.  This typically includes bedroom, bathroom and kitchen linens, dishes, glasses, flatware, and pots and pans.  Food costs will typically reflect both groceries and restaurants.  Based on the accommodations available, and the client’s policy, costs for grocery items may be combined with restaurant meal costs.  Expenditures for groceries are based on consumption for the designated family size.  These reports also typically include one-time expenses and deposits associated with the assignment, such as security deposits, key deposits, handling charges, service charges, parking and application fees.  A primary advantage of these reports is that they free both the employee and the administrator from dealing with time-consuming tracking and filing of daily expenses as long as they remain within guidelines established by the IRS.

 

Runzheimer Two Location Comparison

The Runzheimer Two Location Comparison (RTLC) report accurately measures living-cost increases or decreases for employees transferring between any two locations in the US and Canada.  Specific employee criteria are used when developing the comparison because living-cost differences vary depending on income level, family size, and housing status.  An RTLC profile consists of 1) pre-and post-move locations, 2) employee’s annual income, 3) family size, 4) housing status (renter or homeowner), and 5) age of mortgage, if applicable.  Each RTLC report divides into six categories:  1) housing, 2) community selection (reflective of appropriate socioeconomic living communities), 3) income taxes, 4) transportation, 5) other expenses, and 6) bottom-line differentials (expressed as a dollar figure and as an index).  These reports are characterized by:

·         Primary, unbiased data collection, including actual home sales, using strict quality control processes

·         A framework that includes all cost-of-living components, including a proprietary income tax model

·         A standardized methodology that ensures consistent and accurate data application

 

An RTLC report is a powerful business tool that contributes to successful transfer of an employee from one area of the country to another.  Specific benefits of this service are:

·         Reducing employee anxiety over costs in the new location

·         Increasing relocation acceptance rates

·         Retention and recruitment of key employees

·         Ensuring appropriate financial assistance

 

Clients can access RTLCs on the Internet to:

·         Order and instantaneously view the completed report

·         E-mail completed reports directly from the system

·         Allow different report views for administrator and transferee

·         View cost component detail

·         View online suburban maps

·         View a list of all standard locations by housing type and income

·         Cross-reference and spell-check locations

·         Access the Administrator Support Center for answers to frequently asked questions, explanations of methodology, sample communication materials, etc

·         Order in a secure Internet environment 24/7

 

 

Lump Sum Allowances

This allowance report enables a single, up-front payment to a US or international transferee for expenses related to home-finding, temporary living, and the final move (international reports can include R&R trips or permanent moves within countries, as well as between countries).  Each report is customized to incorporate specific policies governing these expenses and transferee profiles, including family size and pre- and post-move locations.  Other variables include number of home finding trips and determining the length of stay in temporary living.  The employer determines the guidelines for the cost calculation, including 1) airfare, 2) car rental, 3) lodging, 4) meals, 5) mileage, 6) miscellaneous/laundry, 7) childcare.  If an organization negotiates special rates for any of the components of the Lump-Sum Allowance, Runzheimer can substitute its data in place of our research, such as GSA’s negotiated city-pair airfares.  The reports document taxable and nontaxable cumulative amounts and include the estimated tax gross-up.  International lump sum reports can be updated at any time to reflect different currencies and current exchange rates (at no additional charge).

 

Implementation of Lump-Sum Allowances markedly reduces administrative burdens associated with relocation, a key reason they have been identified as an important re-engineering tool by public and private organizations.  Clients can access eLSAs on the Internet to:

·         Order and instantaneously view the completed report

·         E-mail completed reports directly from the system

·         Allow different report views for administrator and transferee

·         View cost component detail

·         View online suburban maps

·         View a list of all standard locations by housing type and income

·         Cross-reference and spell-check locations

·         Access the Administrator Support Center for answers to frequently asked questions, explanations of methodology, sample communication materials, etc

·         Order in a secure Internet environment 24/7
