For almost three decades Investors in People has been acknowledged internationally as a leading people accreditation, assessing over 50,000 organisations in 66 different countries.

With a framework designed to help leaders, employees and companies work together to create an effective environment, the Platinum Award represents a true commitment to best practice and a recognition investing in your people is not only the right thing to do but also essential to deliver sustainable results.

Commenting on the award chief executive, Nicki Donaldson, said: “This accreditation recognises our understanding that our colleagues are our most valuable asset and acknowledges our commitment to investing in supporting and developing the people and teams within the organisation who make a difference for our tenants and other customers every day.

“We’re very proud to be one of the few housing associations to have achieved IIP Platinum status, however, our journey is not over and we look forward to building upon this amazing achievement in the coming years.”

Bonnie Clarke, chief executive of Remarkable, the organisation licensed to deliver Investors in People in Scotland, added: “I am delighted to celebrate alongside Fife Housing Group who have been awarded the platinum level Investors in People award, an incredible achievement, especially during the challenging times we are all facing.

“This level of people engagement and support should never be taken for granted and the effort, time and commitment from the leadership team and everyone across the organisation should be recognised and praised, with everyone playing their part in obtaining this award. The focus on values, the wellbeing of employees, the strong culture and inclusion of the team in creating the business plan, really stood out to me as wonderful examples of a caring and people-centric organisation. Huge congratulations on this well deserved Platinum Investors in People Award Fife Housing Group, you are an exemplar in the housing sector.”
