We’re delighted to announce that our client Robert Walters has won Silver in the Best Intranet category at the Internal Communications and Engagement Awards 2026. The ICE Awards, run by Communicate magazine, recognise excellence in internal communications and employee engagement. 

The award recognises the impact of Connect, Robert Walters’ Microsoft 365-based digital workplace. Created to support the organisation’s Winning As One strategy, Connect brings 3,300 employees across 31 countries together through a shared platform for communication, collaboration and engagement. Built with our support, Connect has replaced fragmented communication channels with a single employee experience that helps colleagues connect with the wider business.  

The Silver award reflects Robert Walters’ commitment to creating a digital workplace that supports business goals as well as employee needs. Connect demonstrates how a modern intranet can help organisations strengthen communication, bring people together and enable employees to work more effectively as one business.  

A digital workplace that’s built to last  

As organisations continue to evolve their digital workplace strategies, this award reflects the principles that underpin our approach: 

Maximising Microsoft 365 

We help organisations get the most from SharePoint and Microsoft 365, making full use of native capabilities while extending the platform with personalised experiences, AI-powered features and governance tools. This ensures their digital workplace remains relevant and aligned to the Microsoft 365 roadmap. Our products add what’s missing in Microsoft 365, delivering personalised and intuitive experiences.  

Designed around real employee needs 

Our information architecture and engagement framework ensure the digital workplace is structured around the needs of employees, becoming a business enablement platform that employees rely on to do their work.  

Governance that scales effortlessly  

We enable IT, comms and digital workplace teams to keep content quality high, reduce site sprawl and empower contributors, whilst using AI to manage governance.  

Looking ahead 

We’re grateful to our customers and partners whose ambition and collaboration make achievements like this possible.  

If you are looking to create a digital workplace that brings people together, strengthens communication and delivers lasting value, we’d be delighted to discuss how we can help.
