And the VOICES Award goes to…

Recognising exceptional work in employee experience across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

Your project stands for employee experience with substance: accompanying change, providing guidance, strengthening cohesion. Now this work belongs on the industry stage.

Award winners will receive a custom award to display in their office and a £250 donation to a NGO of their choice.

You and your employee experience team are doing outstanding work, inspiring others to raise the bar in employee experience.

For the first time ever, we’re bringing the awards to the VOICES London event. The highly sought-after VOICES Awards celebrate teams making a real difference through their collaboration across Communications, HR, and IT. Whether it’s a powerful campaign, an innovative digital tool, or a cultural initiative, we recognise projects that engage, connect, and inspire employees.

Applications are due by the 15th May
