Investors In People Gold Award
HOP are very pleased to have been awarded Investors In People Gold Standard since 2014. In March this year, we were reassessed against the sixth generation framework and were once again merited Gold standard, thus retaining our Gold Award accreditation.
Organisations that meet the world recognised IIP standard, are believed to reflect the very best in people management excellence and as such we are very proud to be amongst the top few with this accolade. We are delighted to have been recognised for our strong, ongoing commitment to continue investing in our staff.
Our Assessor wrote much about why HOP merits its Gold level accreditation, including:-
“A strength is the way in which people’s capabilities are actively managed and developed so that they realise their full potential…over the years the investment in learning and development has been sustained and this is one of the factors cited by people as making HOP a great place to work.”
“Another area that stands out is the way in which the organisation has been structured and roles designed to create interesting work for people. The well-defined career structure and the efforts of leaders to take on a range of interesting projects (that provide learning opportunities) have been instrumental in this respect.”
“Leaders evidently take their corporate social responsibilities seriously and strive to ensure that the organisation has a positive impact on the communities and markets it serves. The level of engagement in the local community, with schools and colleges and with the wider construction industry is impressive.”
