Re:locate Awards Extra December 2014

December 2014

Celebrate your successes, raise your organisation’s profile, impress potential customers and investors, improve business planning, and enhance your employer brand by entering this year’s Re:locate Awards.

Entering is also a great way of motivating your team and boosting morale – not to mention increasing your own success by showing your management what you and your team can do.

Organisations of all types and sizes, from the UK and beyond, will benefit from entering. With a choice of awards, between them covering HR and service providers, there’s sure to be one that’s perfect for you.

Starting in January, each edition of this newsletter will profile different categories and explain how to enter them. Entering is easy, and free. See the Winter 2014/15 issue of Re:locate magazine for more awards coverage.

In response to feedback, and to give international entrants plenty of time, our entry deadline is a fortnight later than in previous years: Friday 13 March. We’re happy to receive entries now, so do start preparing yours, perhaps if you have a quieter time leading up to Christmas or before the New Year.

The first in our annual series of Re:locate Awards webinars was broadcast on Friday 12 December. Full details below. To view the replay, click here.

At our International Networking Reception, which takes place in London on Wednesday 11 February, to coincide with Worldwide ERC’s EMEA conference, we’ll be showcasing the awards. Whether or not you’re attending the conference, we’d love to see you there! Details and tickets from Vanessa McConnell, awards@relocatemagazine.com

WHY ENTER?

Share expertise and good practice, and enjoy the recognition you deserve!

The prestigious Re:locate Awards really are the ones to win. For HR people, they’re a fantastic opportunity to demonstrate how you and your team have been rising to the latest mobility challenges, whatever type of assignment you are managing. Show us, for example, how you are managing new markets, supporting talent and diversity, or dealing creatively with assignees’ property requirements.

There’s plenty of scope for those on the supplier side, too. Previous supplier winners have found that, as well as providing welcome recognition, their award has been a valuable marketing tool and PR opportunity that has raised their profile and brought contacts and business opportunities.

Your entry can highlight work in progress, not just completed projects. 

Let previous winners convince you!

Here, some of our 2013/14 winners share their thoughts on the benefits of winning a Re:locate award.

“The award programme has allowed us to reflect on the progress we’ve made and recognise how far we’ve developed,” said Alan Bentley, of IPM Global mobility, winner of the Relocation Service Provider of the Year category. “It’s provided us with a showcase for our services and enabled us to demonstrate how our culture of outstanding service adds real value.”

Scott McCormick, of global professional services firm Deloitte, which took the Technological Innovation in Relocation award, also highlighted the business benefits of winning, saying that the award had “provided significant value in reaching out to new clients and new opportunities”. 

Many of our winners consider their awards a powerful motivational tool. Mike Gorski, of Brookfield Global Relocation Services, our Global Relocation Service Provider of the Year, commented, “We are thrilled to have the visibility this award provides, in the EMEA region and worldwide, and our employees have been invigorated through knowing their hard efforts are being acknowledged and appreciated.”

Kathy Nunn, of Elite Executive Services, which took the trophy for Excellence in Employee & Family Support, added, “This award is highly sought-after, and it is a huge honour to have won it. For us, it means recognition of all the hard work our team put into looking after our assignees, and it is something which will continue to motivate and excite us for a long time to come.”
