Crown Singapore Named Preferred Relocation Firm by HR Professionals
for the Third Year in a Row
Crown Relocations congratulates the staff from Crown Singapore for being named as the "Preferred Relocation Firm" for 2008 by Human Resources magazine in Singapore.
Winners of the 2008 awards were announced in Human Resources magazine Special Annual Edition 2008. The article mentions how Crown Relocations is adapting to an ever-changing industry with tools such as social networking, intercultural training and new technologies.
Paul Sullivan, regional managing director for Southeast Asia commented that Crown is responding to a change in the profile of the typical expatriate. "We see more singles, more females and younger professionals going on international assignments." Sullivan says that the company is organizing new social events to help these expatriates meet others like them. "While assimilating into Singapore, developing a social network helps improve the success rate of assignments."
Sullivan also says that intercultural training has evolved into a series of sophisticated programs designed to help human resource and relocation professionals manage culturally competent teams. "Crown offers a unique intercultural training program and a new website to further support it. As relocation professionals have been seeking more standardization, Crown has responded by improving its software and administrative functions to provide clients with customized reporting and real-time access."
Sullivan continued, "It is quite an honor to be recognized so highly by Human Resources magazine and by those involved with the nomination process. I am very proud of the staff at Crown Singapore for all their hard work and of our entire worldwide staff for their global contributions which helped us earn this prestigious award."
