Every year, Irwin Mitchell hosts their own version of the Oscars, the IM Success Awards. Itโs an opportunity for individuals, teams and managers to recognise and be recognised for the many ways they support our clients, our colleagues and our communities.
This year there were over 500 nominations, which lead to over 1000 of our people being shouted out across 7 different categories. All the nominations are then somehow whittled down to a final shortlist of five and the winners are announced today during a virtual event - which for obvious reasons is more video testimonies and a chance to say thanks and less red carpets and champagne (it is at 10am to be fair).
For the second year in a row, I have somehow made the final shortlist, thanks to the in-house brand refresh we delivered in the summer. This project was only possible because of the work of so many amazing people that I can't speak highly enough of and itโs great to reflect on how lucky I am to work with them day-in, day-out.
When you look at some of the nominations, it really does reinforce everything and everyone that is special about Life at Irwin Mitchell. The fact that so many people, who are so busy, take the time to acknowledge others, be kind and say thank you, shouldn't be underestimated when we have so much to deliver.
I donโt expect to win for two reasons. 1), Iโm up against some truly brilliant colleagues that are much more deserving winners and 2) (lifting up the curtain for you here), one of my designers worked on the video announcements and I forced him to tell me who won ๐.
On a serious note, Iโm very proud to be recognised alongside Sarah Al-Jourani, Gurpreet Lalli, Sarah Brumpton, Jack Bookey and everyone else in the other categories. But more importantly, itโs great to work somewhere that wants to reward their colleagues and recognise the role they play in their growth, their culture and their success.
