The shortlist for this year’s CIPR #insidestory awards has been revealed in the run up to the event next month. The awards, now in its third year, recognises the best internal communications campaigns and strategies from 2014.

CIPR Inside is a CIPR member group for internal communicators. With a recent survey demonstrating the growth of the internal communications industry it is more important than ever for work to be analysed and for innovation to be celebrated.

Jenni Wheller, chair of the CIPR Inside group says, “I’m really pleased to see such a great group of organisations on the shortlist this year. We had a 50% increase in entries this year, making the competition tougher and showing that internal communication continues to grow in importance for businesses and organisations of all shapes and sizes. The awards are a brilliant way to benchmark your work, get recognition and share best practice. We’re looking forward to the party and finding out who will win and who will be highly commended.”

The 2015 awards categories range from best internal event to best intranet or enterprise social network. Those nominated for best agency are AB, H&H and Harkness Kennett, and those nominated for best in-house team (with more than seven people) are St Andrew’s Healthcare, Western Power Distribution and Wheatley Group.
