This month, we report on the first-ever Re:locate Awards webinar, bring you a step-by-step guide to compiling a winning submission, profile the Inspirational HR Team of the Year, Relocation Service Provider or Team of the Year, Best International Destination Services Provider and Relocation Personality of the Year categories, and explain how to enter them.
