Queens Cross Housing Association’s human resources team were recognised at a top awards ceremony in London last week.

The team were awarded a high commendation in the HR Team of the Year (Third Sector/Social Enterprise) category at the CIPD People Management Awards.

The awards recognise outstanding and innovative achievement in people management across the UK.

The team won the plaudit for their ‘Supporting Change at Queens Cross’ project which aimed to increase employee engagement, improve performance and recognise staff achievements. It included launching a new People Strategy, introducing a recognition framework and supporting organisational reviews.

Lynne Macdonald, HR manager at the Association, said: “At Queens Cross we believe our employees are the cornerstone of our organisation, so it’s an honour to be recognised at a national level for the work the team have done.

“Recruiting and retaining a capable and committed workforce is essential if we’re to deliver excellent homes and vibrant communities.”
