We were recognised by Investors in People Scotland for the fourth time in June this year, when we received our renewed accreditation.

Following our re-assessment inspection, H H Rissmann, Chairman of Investors in People congratulated the association, saying, “Your continued success is a testament to your committed management and involved employees and the effort that you have together invested in pursuit of improvement”.

Clydebank Housing Association was first accredited by Investors in People in October 1996 and has now maintained commitment to the standard longer than any other Housing Association.

The Association was recognised with a 10-year achievement award at a ceremony in Stirling Castle in November 2006.

The 10-Year Achievement Award

On 9 November, we were presented with the award in recognition of our commitment to using the Investors in People (IIP) standard.

Fiona Webster, Director, said of the award, “The Investors in People Standard is a business improvement tool that helps organisations, like ourselves, improve staff motivation, reduce staff turnover and benefit from effective communications, to name but a few benefits”.

We were one of 16 organisations in the Glasgow area to be presented with the award by IIP Scotland Chief Executive, Peter Russian, at a celebration dinner and ceilidh in Stirling Castle.  John Mooney, one of our Voluntary Management Committee Member, who collected the award said, “It was a well deserved award.  The Association puts a lot of emphasis on staff training and development, both personal and professional”.
