Creative Connections: The 2025 Think Global People and Relocate Awards

“Creative connections enable the participants to gain mutual benefits by drawing on ideas from a range of stakeholders in and beyond the workplace.”

How we relate to others is a key part of leadership, people management, global
mobility and the world of education. Successful leaders and managers do not simply focus
on individual issues in isolation. They see the bigger picture and make connections between
individuals and activities to achieve efficient and effective outcomes. The connections
between people are particularly valuable because they can lead to creative solutions that
can be harnessed for future success.

Making connections is inherent in today’s networked world. The influence of social media
and other forms of communication drives how businesses operate. Working with others also
helps to leverage new ideas, share knowledge, penetrate new markets and deliver
innovative, flexible products and services to meet customer needs. Being creative rather
than reactive is the key to success, which brings with it the ability to attract and retain the
very best talent. This in turn provides the foundation for further growth and prosperity.

For organisations to reach their strategic goals, making creative connections with others is a
vital component of success. Creative connections enable participants to gain mutual benefits
by drawing on ideas from a range of stakeholders in and beyond the workplace.

Recognising exceptional customer and employee experiences

Making connections that result in creative business solutions embraces the knowledge, skills
and behaviours from the workplace itself, from suppliers, customers and clients and a wide
range of stakeholders in leadership, global mobility and education. Such connections are a
necessity in delivering tailored solutions, delighting clients and customers and paving the
way for further future success.

We have designed The Think Global People and Relocate Awards to recognise and reward
organisations that provide truly unique and exceptional-quality experiences for their
customers. The awards also focus on the demonstration of a responsive, resource-efficient
and cost-effective service that is differentiated from others by showing a creative, flexible
approach.

To recognise and reward organisations for their leadership, people management and
educational practices, the awards also cover how employees are supported by their
leadership team to build these connections that deliver innovative and inspirational service in
an increasingly global and diverse marketplace.
In essence, those entering the awards will need to demonstrate how they address these key
issues, focusing on how they have achieved these outcomes by making creative
connections with a range of stakeholders.

Connect with others and celebrate success

Today’s focus on moving from being merely reactive to being creative highlights the need to
connect with others. It is vital to develop organisational cultures that encourage networking,
knowledge sharing and the harnessing of new ideas.
In celebrating success, businesses can motivate and engage their employees. Our
prestigious awards recognise everybody’s contribution and celebrate this with a beautiful
trophy and a June celebration awards ceremony. Coming along and enjoying further
networking opportunities enables yet more creativity to flow from making new – and
reinforcing existing – connections.

The Think Global People and Relocate Awards recognise the contribution of global leaders,
managers and industry experts, HR, mobility and education professionals and service
providers, all of whom rely on their employees to deliver exceptional outcomes. This year,
the focus is on how connections made among all stakeholders can spur and sustain
creativity and forge future success.

All sizes and scopes of operation are included in our awards, from global delivery through to
regional coverage and local country focus. Organisations from the smallest operating at a
single-country level to the very largest corporations that span the globe can provide creative
services that exceed customer expectations and provide excellent employee knowledge-
sharing, learning and engagement.

The Think Global People and Relocate Awards encompass leadership, global mobility and
education and learning. These three areas intertwine, with creative connections reinforcing
positive outcomes for all sectors. Leadership, mobility and education work together as the
next generations are prepared – and prepare for – their future careers. To reflect this, the
awards adopt an integrated approach to organisational leadership, people management, the
need to move employees and their families, education and learning.
