NEST (National Employment Savings Trust).
Award entries that secured national recognition for the People team.

The brief.
NEST, the government-backed pension provider, wanted to raise the profile of its People team by showcasing their achievements through industry awards. The aim was to secure external recognition, celebrate success and strengthen the organisation’s reputation.
The strategy.
We built a two-year awards calendar, identified the categories that best matched NEST’s objectives and gathered the right evidence to support each entry. Working side by side with the People team, we crafted persuasive submissions that highlighted innovation, impact and culture. We kept momentum high by managing the process end to end – from scoping opportunities through to approvals and final submission.
The point.
NEST was shortlisted for more than five national awards and secured a win, putting its People team firmly in the spotlight. The recognition raised the profile of the organisation, built pride internally and positioned NEST as an employer of choice.
