16th December 2022 | posted in News
We are pleased to announce that we have retained our silver standard Investors in People (IIP) status.
It follows a recent assessment on the management and development of staff. The assessment was carried out through a combination of surveys, review of documents and data, interviews, meetings, and observations.
The IIP assessor noted that the Association:
•Demonstrates a range of well-established and effective people management practices
•Manages performance well to achieve its business plans
•Keeps its values of being caring, fair, efficient, open and trustworthy, at the heart of what it does
•Looks beyond the current business environment to learn from the outside world to improve performance.
Recommendations for further improvement included:
•Improving internal communications
•Increasing the involvement of staff in decisions that have an impact on them and their work
•Encouraging staff to work more with their colleagues across the organisation, sharing information, experience and best practice
•Developing change resilience and stamina within the workforce, in readiness for future challenges.
Anne Rowlands, Chief Executive of Railway Housing Association, said: “Given the circumstances of the last few years, we are absolutely delighted to have retained our IIP silver status.
“Whether it was the challenges posed by the pandemic, or other factors such as moving into a new head office, we never faltered in our commitment to encourage and develop our staff.
“We have a great team at Railway Housing Association and this award is testament to their hard work and dedication.”
Paul Devoy, CEO of Investors in People, said: “We’d like to congratulate Railway Housing Association on their silver accreditation. It puts them in fine company with a host of organisations that understand the value of people.”
