Perhaps the most exciting thing about winning this award is the doors it opens for the next phases of work on our intranet. In its current form, our intranet supports all our people – it’s easy to navigate from any device and provides the information and tools we need to complete our work and support our clients. As we work towards future phases to transform our ways of working and the digital experience for our people, this award gives us priceless credibility.

It has also given enormous validity to the employee communications function within our organisation. We are a relatively new function, and being the only Australian organisation to be recognised among a field of inspiring international recipients is mind blowing and an achievement we are immensely proud of.

We also found the process of writing our award submission to be an extremely valuable exercise. Taking the time to look back on everything we achieved as a team was absolutely worthwhile, regardless of the outcome.
