The National Residential Landlords Association has achieved the ‘Gold’ benchmark following a wide-ranging accreditation process by the Investors In People organisation.
The IIP ‘Gold’ standard is an internationally recognised award which highlights those organisations that demonstrate a proven commitment to delivering a positive work environment for their staff. IIP says that for an organization to achieve a gold accreditation underlines how each and every staff member has played a part in ensuring the company in question lives up to its purpose and values a reality on a day-to-day basis.
The NRLA was adjudged to have met this standard following a rigorous examination of its commitment to staff that was conducted by IIP over recent months.
This involved interviews with NRLA employees, close scrutiny of the steps taken to provide the best possible workplace for colleagues, and analysis of key performance indicators IIP use to identify best practice in this area.
Today’s announcement that the NRLA has received Gold IIP accreditation – one of the most prestigious people management accreditations internationally – follows the recent news that the NRLA was named by The Sunday Times as one of the best medium-sized companies to work for in the UK.
Paul Devoy, chief executive of Investors in People, says: “Gold accreditation on We invest in people is a fantastic effort for any organisation, and places the NRLA in fine company with a host of organisations that understand the value of people.”
And Ben Beadle, the NRLA’s chief executive, adds: “This award is testament to the way in which the NRLA provides a welcoming environment where creativity and hard work are prized. It’s also clear evidence of the important role played by everyone at the NRLA, across every team, in helping make our company a truly dynamic organisation, for the benefit of our members and the wider private rented sector.
“The ‘gold standard’ is recognition of the enormous contribution of each and every colleague who make sure the NRLA is not just excellent at what it does, it is also a great place to work.”
