For many corporate communications teams, employees are one of their most important audiences. Often cited as an organisation’s most valuable assets, employees are the face of the brand and have the potential to be the most passionate of brand ambassadors. For those companies that communicate effectively with these internal stakeholders, they see benefits not only in terms of engagement, but also on the bottom line.

To recognise this, Communicate magazine is celebrating achievements in internal communications with the Internal Communications and Engagement Awards. In its fifth year, the event highlights the impact internal comms has on a business, the role of the internal communicator within an organisation and the creative strategies developed to promote an engaged workforce.

To celebrate excellence in internal communications, a panel of internal comms experts will assess projects and campaigns, judging them on various criteria. Categories recognise both strategic and content-based achievements in internal comms and engagement, including ’Best Ongoing Commitment to Internal Communications,’ ‘Best Intranet,’ ‘Best Internal Communications in a Crisis’ and ‘Best Innovation.’

In addition to the main awards, organisations and individuals can enter the Communicator of the Year,  Internal Communications Team of the Year, and Business Leader of the Year. For details about these accolades, visit the ‘Categories’ tab.

The awards welcome entries from in-house internal communications teams and communications agencies who have designed and delivered corporate communication strategies.

We also thrilled to have the support of AllThingsIC for this year's awards.
