AWARD PROFILES

Inspirational Team of the Year Image

Inspirational HR Team of the Year: award profile

Sponsored by Cartus

This award is for a team, of any size, that can demonstrate outstanding leadership and excellence in relocation, and that inspires others.

HR professionals in the private or public sector, both UK and internationally based, are eligible.

Immigration team of the year image

Immigration Team of the Year    NEW

Immigration is high on the global mobility agenda. Employers are increasingly aware of the challenges they face in dealing with immigration and visa issues, and the risks involved if they fail to comply with regulations.

Above all, they need trustworthy advice, to ease the burden of immigration in a cost-effective way.

This new category recognises providers of specialist immigration support to companies that are relocating employees and their families.

Best HR and Supplier Strategy Image

Best HR & Supplier Strategy or Team: award profile

Introduced for the 2012/13 awards, this category recognises the outstanding work being done by HR and supplier partnerships.
