Congratulations to all of our winners and highly commended entries. Once again we’ve had a fantastic response to these awards and that’s recognition that there is real growth in our profession and a drive to push internal communication and employee engagement further up on the leadership agenda. Getting recognition for your work is a great way to demonstrate the value internal communication can bring to an organisation. The quality of entries was high and they were critically judged by a panel of senior internal communication professionals. We will be sharing the best practice from these winning entries over the coming weeks, and are kicking that off at our AGM on 26 March where Sian Jones, Deputy Director of Internal Communications, and Ben Wilson, Deputy Director of Communications (Welfare Reform) DWP will join us to share their experience and what made their change communication entry a winning entry.
