AWARD CATEGORY: EXCELLENCE IN TALENT MANAGEMENT
WINNER: ICON T
his year’s winner of Excellence in Talent Management is Icon. The judges were clearly impressed by their entry. “Icon stood out for its strong commitment
to employee connection and inclusion across remote and office-based teams. With high retention and outstanding client feedback, it’s clear their people feel valued – and their supportive, people-first culture sets a powerful example for the industry.” The Award was presented by Paul Williamson, Group
Head of Talent Development, ATG Entertainment and member of the judging panel for a number of years.
WALKING THE WALK Paul remarked, “So many businesses say that people are our biggest asset. I think this is an award for an organisation that is walking the walk in terms of that. Because, to the keynote speaker, Professor Dame Vlatka Hulpic’s point earlier on, it's all about culture and how you create positive cultures in the workplace that encourages retention. Talent development is really at the heart of this, and it's a passion of mine. So, it's a real privilege to be able to judge this and to give this award. He explained, this organisation has placed considerable emphasis on bringing together both office- based and remote workers and on fostering initiatives that help to share experiences and ideas.
WELLBEING & ENGAGEMENT COMMITTEE Key to their retention strategy is their employee-led Wellbeing and Engagement Committee. Acting as a peer- driven support network, the Committee provides a direct channel for employees to come together, voice concerns and drive positive change. With an increasingly remote workforce they see fostering engagement as more crucial than ever. Feedback from clients and assignees described the team as “incredibly patient, empathetic, efficient, and thoughtful,” “a necessary calming force,”. With an eight- year average service record it is notable that Icon’s core pillars of training and employee satisfaction/retention are working. In the current climate the role of a busy destination service provider is not likely to get any easier. The emphasis on bringing together both office-
based and remote workers is to be commended as is the involvement of the CEO and directors in supporting creative activities such as charitable volunteering and teambuilding alongside career development training and supporting professional qualifications. The talking heads video illustrated the creative connections theme and reflected the culture of the organisation. They live and breathe the ethos of providing
world-class relocation services built on a foundation of exceptional people. Vanessa Szmagara, Quality & Supply Chain Director
