PeoplePlus has won the prestigious 'Social Responsibility Organisation of the Year' award from Investors in People, for the second time in a row.
The Investors in People Awards 2024 was a culmination of over 300 entries from 200 organisations across 15 countries to celebrate the pinnacle of excellence in organisational development and people management. Investors in People is recognised as a definitive voice for employer organisations, having 50,000 members from right across the world, including some of the largest, best resourced organisations in the world.
PeoplePlus was shortlisted for two awards this year, the Award for Best Purpose Driven People Community and the Award for Social Responsibility – and we were thrilled to take home the Social Responsibility Award for the second year in a row. The award “celebrated initiatives that go beyond business goals to drive social change, contribute to local communities, and promote sustainability.”
The judges commented on our achievement: “This is an amazing initiative that brings together a multi partner, multi sectoral group together to form the SRAG which addresses barriers to recruitment. They provide tools, advice, funding and consultancy which has a lasting impact on inclusive recruitment. There are many measurable outcomes but the Social Recruitment Framework has enabled 40,000 disadvantaged people find employment. This will continually develop and they have provided a platform for change for so many employers and disadvantaged people.”
Group Managing Director, Kenny Boyle commented: "This award as it is a fantastic endorsement of our vision for a society where every individual is able to reach their full potential, regardless of their background or circumstances. From the hundreds of entrants, we are the one of the only organisations who works with large and small employers to persuade them to look at their own potential to create social value and then show them how to do it. Being awarded Social Responsibility Organisation of the Year, for the second year in a row, by the Investors in People who are recognised as a definitive voice for employer organisations, is something we are immensely proud of."
