| Re:locate Extra, Issue 87, April 2013 In this issue, we report on a predicted increase in short- and long-term overseas assignments, the launch of a new talent-mobility training course, and a rise in business activity across most of England’s regions. Plus we consider the CIPD’s view that organisational values are as important as commercial vision when creating reward strategies, and examine the looming skills shortage in the Western world. Our Property and Education sections bring you the highlights of this month’s coverage of these key topics for relocating employees and their families. The Re:locate Awards 2012/13 gala dinner and presentation ceremony is now only a week away, so it’s time to book your places for this fabulous event if you haven’t already done so. The few remaining tickets will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Full details below. We look forward to seeing you there! Fiona Murchie Managing Editor
