Fragomen is excited to announce it has won three Expatriate Management and Mobility Awards (EMMAs) at the Forum for Expatriate Management’s Americas Summit.
The firm was previously shortlisted in each of the three categories for which it was honored with awards:
- Immigration Provider of the Year
- Thought Leadership – Best Survey or Research Study of the Year (recognized for Fragomen's COVID-19 Entry Rules Platform)
- Outstanding Agility & Crisis Management as a Service Provider
In conjunction with the awards, the Americas EMMAs judges cited the firm's "best-in-class platform for mobility professionals requiring finger-touch access to the latest immigration updates to meet the demands of their businesses," as well as its outstanding use of technology and resources to leverage for crisis management. They also noted that Fragomen's COVID-19 Entry Rules Platform was one of the most helpful reports provided by any industry leader, serving as a "game-changer" for organizations that move employees from country to country.
The winners were announced at the Forum for Expatriate Management’s Americas Summit on May 5-6, 2022. The awards honor achievement and success in global mobility during the prior year.
Fragomen has been consistently recognized by FEM for excellence in technological and legal innovation, diversity and inclusion, crisis leadership and staff development.
