Launch of IoIC's ICon Awards 2011 - recognising excellence in employee communication

July 26, 2011 - PRLog -- The hunt is on for the icons of internal communication.

‘ICons’ is the name given to a new set of awards which will replace the Institute of Internal Communication’s longstanding Communicator of the Year awards.

The ICons are the Institute’s ‘people’ awards, recognising the qualities in internal communications practitioners that make them stand out from the crowd, achieve outstanding results and make a real difference for their organisations.

Entry is now open and there are 14 categories including:  in-house team, rising star, line manager, editor, writer, designer, and the internal communicator of the year. Entrants can submit their own entries or be nominated by someone from their own team or business.
