The award was open to individuals and organisations from any sector that offer a specialist service or platform particularly appropriate for international employees and multinational organisations or international assignees and their families. The award is relevant to services that provide support to individuals and/or families on the move, locally, regionally or globally. It is also relevant to services that engender employee and/or family wellbeing.
Remote working, the displacement of employees due to the pandemic and separation from family friends and colleagues have all impacted engagement but for some organisations it has brought opportunities for improving engagement and accelerating change and productivity. Entering this award is an ideal way to share your experiences and review your journey.
Services may encompass, for example, support for dual-careers, networking, language tuition, cultural and language support, healthcare and wellbeing, financial wellbeing, childcare, pets, and concierge services. Talent and engagement platforms, reward and benefit initiatives and coaching and mentoring.
If you are a people professional, we want to hear about your engagement strategies in the context of the future of work and how you may be moving towards good work that is good for people and for business.
