Re:locate Extra, Issue 88, May 2013 On 9 May, following months of anticipation, the winners of the Re:locate Awards 2012/13 were presented with their trophies at this year’s fabulous Gala Awards Dinner. Read all about it in our special awards newsletter. The Summer 2013 edition of Re:locate magazine (out late June) will be packed with news of the winning entries, plus photographs of the Gala Awards Dinner and presentation ceremony. In this issue, we bring you our usual mix of UK and international topics, reporting on the results of a survey charting the rise of emerging markets in assignment growth, the latest trends in global leadership development, and the impact of the 2012 Olympics on foreign direct investment in Britain. We consider the CIPD’s spring Employee Outlook – are there green shoots of recovery for employee satisfaction? – and look at how British international schools are nurturing the global citizens of tomorrow. Our Reports & Surveys and Serviced Accommodation sections bring you highlights of this month’s coverage of these key topics. Fiona Murchie Managing Editor |
