PHOENIX, AZ. September 12, 2025 – Bristol is proud to announce it has been awarded the Forum for Expatriate Management (FEM) 2025 APAC EMMA Award for Most Innovative Use of Technology in Global Mobility – Bespoke Solutions for the integration between its BristolElite global relocation management system and the Workday system of their client, Becton, Dickinson and Company (BD). This prestigious recognition celebrates Bristol’s commitment to delivering forward-thinking solutions that transform global mobility operations through seamless, scalable, and secure technology.
The award-winning integration was developed in close collaboration with BD’s Global Mobility and IT teams, resulting in a system that automates the transfer of over 40 data fields in under 30 seconds, eliminating manual entry, improving accuracy, and dramatically reducing processing times. The solution’s adaptability allows BD to meet evolving business needs without custom modifications, while also laying the groundwork for future connectivity with immigration and tax systems.
“This award reflects our team’s dedication to solving complex challenges with elegant, scalable technology,” said Bristol President Joe Cardini. “We’re honored to partner with BD on this transformative initiative, which not only streamlines data management but also sets a new standard for innovation in global mobility.”
BD’s Director of Global Mobility, Berna Anderson, emphasized the strategic impact of the integration: “By bypassing traditional reporting and enabling on-demand data transfers, we’ve achieved 100% accuracy and eliminated manual errors. This innovation has revolutionized our ability to respond quickly to stakeholder needs and paves the way for future AI-driven automation across the mobility lifecycle.”
Bristol’s solution exemplifies how thoughtful design, rigorous data governance, and client collaboration can drive meaningful change. With its scalable architecture and user-friendly interface, the integration is positioned as a best-practice model for other Bristol clients. The 2025 APAC EMMA Award affirms Bristol’s leadership in delivering technology that empowers organizations to navigate global mobility with confidence and agility.
