The association retained its gold accreditation from Investors in People (IIP) for maintaining its excellent workplace practices. First recognised in 2009 by IIP, Queens Cross achieved the gold level in 2020.

IIP is an international standard for people management, recognising organisations worldwide who are leading the way in making the workplace a better environment for staff.

Since 1991 they have assessed over 50,000 organisations, with only 26 percent of workforces achieving the gold standard.

Shona Stephen, chief executive of Queens Cross Housing Association, said: “I’m delighted that we have retained the gold accreditation from Investors in People.

“Achieving this standard once again is a fantastic reflection of how much we value the hard work and dedication our staff put in every day which makes Queens Cross a great place to work.”
