l'appréciation qu'elle en fait

I can't quite get at the meaning of "appréciation" here. Can anyone help? In the following:
XYZ se réserve, et selon ses besoins et l'appréciation qu'elle en fait, la possibilité de transférer le siège du bureau en toute autre région de la France métropolitaine et de modifier le portefeuille de clientèle du salarié, ces transferts et modifications s'imposant, en conséquence, au salarié.

as they see fit
The idea is "as they see fit" or "if they judge it appropriate"
It's really talking about the company's assessment of its needs/requirements (the 'en'), so it's trying to say: "according to its needs, and its assessment of them", though that makes it clumsy in EN.

in light of Jeff's comments, perhaps 'according to its requirements and should it therefore see fit...' might be more appropriate

afternoon Jeff, where's your answer gone because I just agreed with yours...) think that you might be right for it being more in relation to their needs. See above

Fiorsam
: I agree with your interpretation of the phrase in general, but I think"appréciation" here means "evaluation", i.e., ...their requirements and their evaluation of the same".

and the resultant benefits thereof
i think they were thinking of the benefits that could result to XYZ if it does move, like moving to a tax-free area or where they could pay lower salaries and find cheaper labor. <<en>> in the stattement comes from the change itself.
Something went wrong...
