when everything comes together, everyone is in the flow and you achieve marvellous things. For 50 companies around the world, that has happened. They were generous enough to share their experiences in the award entries and so we can all learn and be inspired.”
CHAMPIONING JOINT EFFORTS AND TEAMWORK The
guestlist
to a close by outlining a vision for the future that builds on existing partnerships, joint interests and the
collaboration so crucial for included
representatives from supporters and sponsors of the Relocate and Think Global People Awards. Each welcomed the opportunity to mark the achievements of their global mobility community colleagues. Speaking at the mini gathering,
Alistair Hunt, Santa Fe Relocation’s Business Development
Manager,
said the relocation management company’s involvement as sponsor of the Relocate and Think Global People Awards recognises that “a lot of people work very hard behind the scenes. For a lot of businesses, they don’t always get the praise they should do. For our brand, it’s great to be a part of that.” The Association of Relocation Professionals (ARP) represented
was also by its chairperson,
Simon Johnston, who said ARP’s relationship with Relocate Global is important
to help raise the
profile of the sector. “Relocation matters – it is a multi-billion-pound business and we are trying to get the government to recognise that.” Inspired by the
achievements
of the winners, as well as hugely successful innovations like the Great
International Education
& Schools’ Fairs Relocate Global has pioneered over the past year, Fiona Murchie brought the Awards
BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE Rob Fletcher, co-founder of award winner Heart Relocation, reacted positively to the opportunity for more access to quality information for the sector. “Everybody talks about mobility being hard to talk about because it’s very subjective. There’s no hard data around it. Yet mobility people want to have a more strategic a seat at
the strategic
approach and table. If
there is more creation of data and
the sector as it becomes more strategically focused. “As many of you are finding, the pandemic has pushed us to do more innovative things. For us, it’s about consolidating the work we’ve done in terms of content and thought leadership and connecting people around the world. “Our new future and direction
is going to be taking things further on the thought leadership side and using this wonderful setting to allow other people to share it. We’ll be doing more films, more podcasts and things like that. “We’re also hoping to have a
thought-leadership centre here where you’ll all be invited to get involved. We’d like to house resources from all around the world that are accessible to people. Reports, surveys, learning – everything that makes global mobility so important, but also extending it into the much wider international management world. Let’s have some conversations and really grow global mobility and the wider international management arena.”
“ If we understand more, then we can do better. So, I think creating the right environment – and I think this is a wonderful setting – where people can come and be a bit more open and share more can only be better for our industry.” ROB FLETCHER, HEART RELOCATION
information that helps people plan and deliver, that can only benefit our organisations. “If we understand more, then
we can do better. So, I think creating the right environment – and I think this is a wonderful setting – where people can come and be a bit more open and share more can only be better for our industry.” Simon Johnston agreed. “The thing about
interesting leadership is that thought it doesn’t have
to be the top tier in companies. It just has to be somebody who has a really good thought.” The Relocate and Think Global People Awards are
a fantastic
opportunity to showcase excellent practice and research and bring it to wider attention. Entries described a truly humbling and inspiring array of product and service innovation. There were also countless examples of exceptional people making a difference to the lives of globally mobile employees, their families and employers, ensuring everyone thrives in these changing times. Building on this by bringing people, ideas and resources together will mean the bar can continue to be raised across the sector.
