INNOVATION, INCLUSION & PURPOSE Whether through digital platforms or service models, what united this year’s winners was a focus on the human aspect of innovation. From startups like The Cozm to established players like Santa Fe and Synergy, organisations were recognised not just for their technological advances or operational excellence, but for aligning those innovations with values, inclusion, and global responsibility.


MOVING FAMILIES WELL FOR A SUCCESSFUL ASSIGNMENT Education emerged as a central factor in successful relocations, because assignments can fail if a family does not settle and integrate into their new community. In the Excellence in Education – Schools category, the International School of London (ISL) was recognised for its excellence in education for mobile families, not simply for academic provision, but for its ‘authentic community connections’ and a deep commitment to student wellbeing during transition. This shows how educational institutions

can help


create


stability


for


relocating families, which in turn supports employee engagement and talent retention. In Excellence in Education


– Consultancy, Quintessentially Education was praised for providing bespoke homeschooling options to relocating families. Judges praised their pastoral care, international reach, and ability to deliver high- quality outcomes in diverse settings. Their model exemplifies how flexible, personalised services can reduce stress for mobile families, enabling employers to offer a range of support packages to help them settle in. This theme was also emphasised


in the Excellence in Family support award for BiCortex Languages & Translations. It showed how responsive, personalised service can help with a positive relocation experience. Beyond family and education,


the awards also showcased thought leadership and excellence in environmental, social and governance (ESG) policies. Santa Fe Relocation’s research on wellbeing among global mobility professionals tackled an often overlooked aspect


of the industry around the health and wellbeing of those delivering global mobility services. The award for Best Book went


to Force for Good by Dr John Blakey, a compelling reminder that purposeful leadership is not only desirable


but essential in


today’s uncertain global climate. Meanwhile, Eres Relocation Europe set a benchmark for ESG standards, from pro bono legal advice to strong internal governance, proving that doing good and doing well are no longer mutually exclusive. The 2025 Think Global People


& Relocate Awards reveal a global mobility sector undergoing profound transformation. Technology will change the way global mobility teams work, but done well, it can augment human roles rather than replace them, as Benjamin Oghene, CEO of The Cozm, described in the Global Leaders Forum panel discussion. Other leading trends emerged around support for relocating families, the importance of education for community and well being, and the importance of supporting global mobility professionals themselves at a time of huge pressure and an increasing workload.
