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

Financial Support & Innovation

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.

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

Best Property Provider or Solution

Enter Best Property Provider or Solution

Introduced for the 2012/13 awards, this category recognises the outstanding work being done by HR and supplier partnerships. It is aimed at HR teams working with a supplier to deliver a relocation strategy that enhances the organisation's business objectives and/or the quality of the relocation support provided to individual employees.

Relocation Personality of the Year

Enter Relocation Personality of the Year

This award is open to any provider organisation or team (not HR), of any size, which can demonstrate that it provides an excellent and effective relocation support service(s) to clients and their relocatees.
