Re:locate: keeping you in touch

Welcome to Re:locate Extra – the e-newsletter that keeps you informed of the latest developments in the world of relocation.

Out now, the Autumn issue of Re:locate is full of must-read topical features. Among the highlights: we examine repatriation, an important – but often neglected – part of any international assignment. Our education correspondent, Fiona Leney, considers ‘reverse culture shock’ in repatriating children and gives an update on developments in the state education sector. This issue’s Country Profile spotlights the complex, and often difficult, relocation destination of Africa, and we analyse the role of international assignments in talent management.
 
This issue also sees the launch of the Re:locate Awards 2010/11. Find out all about our three brand new categories, this year’s fabulous sponsors, and how you can enter relocation’s premier awards.
