This 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.

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.
