AI in action
How are you using AI to transform the employee experience, improve productivity, or drive innovation within your organization? This might be feature-led, through AI-powered search, assistants, automation, content generation, or another innovative use case. It could also show up in how you’re enabling AI transformation across your organization, from internal communications and change management to knowledge hubs, training programs, and adoption strategies that empower employees to confidently use AI in their day-to-day work. Whether through a platform enhancement or a change management program, we want to hear how AI has created meaningful impact for your people and business.
Business Impact
How has your platform delivered measurable business value for your organization? Have you improved efficiency, reduced costs, increased productivity, streamlined communications, or delivered ROI in another meaningful way? We’re looking for compelling stories backed by tangible outcomes and evidence of the positive impact employee experience can have across the business.
Best Comms Campaign
Have you delivered a standout internal communications campaign that not only captured employee attention and drove engagement, but also contributed to meaningful cultural change? Whether focused on change management, wellbeing, DE&I, leadership communications, awareness initiatives, or business transformation, we want to hear how your campaign influenced behaviors, shifted mindsets, and made a lasting impact.
Best Launch
Have you recently launched or relaunched your platform? Did you devise a launch campaign that fueled adoption and engagement from day one? How did you make employees feel part of the journey? What training and guidance did you provide to get everyone making the most of new features and functionality? Whether you launched with a big bang or took a phased approach, we want to hear your story! Please include a timeline.

Have you pushed the boundaries of what your platform can do? Whether through creative integrations, beautiful and thoughtful homepage designs, innovative use of features, technical customization, unique workflows, or standout user experiences, we want to celebrate organizations using their platform in exciting and inventive ways.
