This edition includes coverage of Brookfield's™ latest international relocation trends survey, the current state of play in serviced apartment provision for global business travellers and relocatees, and the world's top 10 trending expat cities, as well as relocation-related news highlights from the UK. We consider a CIPD report showing that talent management is rising ever higher up the employer agenda, and bring you details of the recently announced GCSE reforms in England.

Our Asia Pacific Focus will, we hope, whet your appetite for the extended coverage of this key region for global growth in the Summer issue of Re:locate magazine (on desks any day now), which includes relocation trends, hotspots, property and education. Also in the summer issue will be articles on how employers can meet their duty of care to employees through health and wellbeing initiatives, the UK's ongoing debates on EU membership and immigration, the potential and challenges of doing business in Africa, and much more. Our 25-page Re:locate Awards supplement is packed with news of the winning entries, insights into the global business scene from our fabulous keynote speaker, plus photographs of the gala dinner and presentation ceremony.
