Gleeson receives Investors in People (IIP) Gold accreditation
Gleeson Homes, part of MJ Gleeson plc, is pleased to announce that it has been awarded the Investors in People (IIP) Gold accreditation.
IIP is an internationally recognised framework for workplace culture that allows companies to benchmark themselves against other organisations within their industry and the sector more broadly. Achieving the Gold accreditation places MJ Gleeson in the top quartile of businesses and demonstrates the company’s commitment to investing in its people over recent years, having progressed from an initial standard Investors in People accreditation in 2019 to now achieving Gold.
The award highlights how the company has continued to drive improvements in its people practices, ways of working, and development programmes, and most importantly, demonstrates how the company continues to listen to employees’ feedback.
“A culture of empowerment and ownership, a values-led approach, participation and collaboration, a strong work ethic, employee pride, transparency and trust, and a company that gets things done, are just some of the phrases mentioned in our IIP assessment. While this is an amazing accreditation and a testament to the organisation, we will not rest on our laurels and will continue to strive from good to great. A great company is all about consistency, learning from mistakes, and constantly refining our practices to ensure we are always improving. We will now be working towards the Platinum IIP accreditation, which would place us in the top 7% of businesses. I want to thank all our Gleeson employees for taking the time to speak about their roles, teams, and the business that helped contribute to this accreditation. Receiving feedback and then making the subsequent changes are what has driven our company transformation and made Gleeson the business it is today.”
