A Hatrick of Awards in 2024
In June 2024, Work From Anywhere won the award for “Excellence in Technology and Analytics” at the Relocate Global Awards.
In September 2024, Work From Anywhere won the “Best Technology” award at the Reward Strategy Awards sponsored by PWC.
And now in October 2024, we’re delighted to share that Mercer and Work From Anywhere won the award for “Best Partnership Between Two Services Providers” at the prestigious Forum for Expatriate Management EMMA Awards in London which recognises the most innovative solutions in the global mobility industry.
This is the third global award that we have won in 2024 so is another important milestone on our journey, meaning that we are the only multi-award-winning technology platform in the global mobility industry.
A special thanks to Stephanie Roach of Reckitt and Ewa Kilian of Grundfos who provided us with outstanding testimonials as part of the award entry process, we’ve been grateful for their partnership as well as all our customers, big and small, from around the world.
In case you’re curious, here is the what the judges had to say about our joint entry:
“A true partnership between vendors with a strong focus on service excellence for their clients. The cost savings were impressive and the collaborative approach to the pricing model showed adaptability and most importantly, trust, between the service providers. Mercer and Work From Anywhere have delivered a transformative experience for Global Mobility leaders.”
A Collaborative (& Fun!) Partnership
Commenting on the win, Frederic Franchi of our partners Mercer, said:
“We are delighted to be selected as the winner of the EMMA Award for Best Partnership between Two Service Providers at the 2024 The Forum for Expatriate Management’s EMEA Summit! It is thanks to all our joint clients and their constant feedback as well as the agility of the WFA team in onboarding enhancements on a monthly basis that we have been able to achieve this. Delighted in partnering with you John and Donal as well as the whole Work From Anywhere team and bringing a state-of-the-art international remote working compliance solution to Mercer clients.”
Frederic Franchi, Mercer Senior Principal EMEA Mobility Technology Leader
“Mercer took a bet on us back in 2023, and were brave enough to believe in how much international remote work was going to become a crucial employee benefit. Despite all the noise around RTOs, we are seeing more and more companies around the world recognise how valuable it is to allow employees to be able to access the benefit of being able to work remotely back home with loved ones for a few weeks at a time. Making this as part of your rewards offering is something that those employees will very often never forget, especially if it is to visit those loved ones who might be unwell. We’re excited to see how together with Mercer we are going to continue to innovate what we do with our Work From Anywhere platform to offer a world-class technology platform that can help companies to capitalize on the wider opportunities that remote work offers. Frederic Franchi and the whole team in Mercer have been incredible partners, as have the Mercer clients we have worked with, so you can be sure Mercer and Work From Anywhere as partners together will be using these awards as a springboard to further revolutionize employee benefits in 2025 and beyond.”
