WOODRIDGE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Brookfield Global Relocation Services is encouraging multinational companies worldwide to participate in its acclaimed annual “Global Relocation Trends Survey.” Thanks in large part to those participating companies, the survey – now in its 18th year -- is considered one of the most reliable and respected sources of global mobility data and trends information.

“Providing our comprehensive thought leadership offers companies a guide to implementing effective assignment management solutions.”

The company is issuing a worldwide call for companies to participate in the survey. Through their participation, companies will help to continue to uncover key trends shaping international mobility. Survey respondents’ information is kept confidential.

The questionnaire for the survey is available for completion at: http://www.brookfieldgrs.com/grts2.html. Brookfield Global Relocation Services will release the results of the annual survey, along with its analysis, in early 2013. All survey participants will receive a complimentary copy of the survey results.

The 2012 Global Relocation Trends Survey report reflected growth in international assignee populations continued to be strong and, in fact, strengthened well beyond what had been reported in the last three Global Relocation Trends Survey reports. This most recent data suggests the steady re-strengthening of the world’s core economies and highlight the critical importance of emerging market growth for companies.

In appreciation for completing the 2013 Global Relocation Trends Survey, Brookfield Global Relocation Services will make a $25 donation to one of three pre-selected global non-profit organizations selected by each survey respondent.
