We are thrilled to announce that Consult Construct has successfully retained its Silver Investors in People (IIP) accreditation. This fantastic achievement is a powerful affirmation of our commitment to our people and the positive, supportive culture we have built together. Maintaining this standard, especially through periods of growth and change, is something we are incredibly proud of.

This accreditation is more than just an award; it is a reflection of our team's lived experience and a testament to how we support one another and embody our core values every day. It belongs to every single person at Consult Construct, and we are delighted to share this news and celebrate what it represents for our company, our culture, and our clients.

What is Investors in People Silver Accreditation?

Investors in People is an internationally recognised standard for people management. It defines what it takes to lead, support, and manage people effectively to achieve sustainable results. The framework is not just about policies and procedures; it is about how an organisation’s culture and leadership create an environment where employees can thrive.

Achieving any level of IIP accreditation is a significant accomplishment. The Silver accreditation is a particularly noteworthy achievement, as it is awarded to only a small percentage of the organisations that are assessed. It signals that an organisation has not only established the right principles but is also seeing them come to life through its people. To retain this status demonstrates a consistent and embedded commitment to creating a great place to work.

The assessment process is rigorous and, crucially, is based on direct feedback from employees. It involves anonymous surveys and in-depth interviews, providing a true and honest picture of the employee experience. The accreditation is therefore a direct reflection of what our team thinks and feels about working at Consult Construct.

A Reflection of Our Culture and Values

Retaining our Silver status is a clear validation of the culture we have worked so hard to build. It tells us that our core values are not just words on a wall, but are actively shaping our daily interactions, decisions, and behaviours. These values include collaboration, integrity, and a commitment to excellence, all of which are underpinned by a deep respect for our people.

This achievement confirms that our team feels:

• Supported: Our employees feel that the company genuinely cares about their wellbeing and provides the support they need to succeed, both professionally and personally.
• Empowered: Team members feel trusted and empowered to take ownership of their work, contribute their ideas, and make a meaningful impact.
• Valued: There is a strong sense of recognition and appreciation for the hard work and dedication that our people bring to their roles every day.
• Engaged: Our team is engaged with the company’s vision and understands how their individual roles contribute to our collective success.

Maintaining this environment through a period of growth for both Consult Construct and the wider Consult Group is particularly gratifying. It shows that as we have expanded, we have successfully preserved the positive, people-focused culture that has always been at the heart of our business.

The Power of Honest Feedback

The Investors in People assessment process is invaluable not just for the final accreditation, but for the detailed insights it provides. We want to extend a huge and sincere thank you to every member of the team who took the time to participate in the assessment. Your honesty, candour, and thoughtful feedback are the most important takeaways from this process.

Your willingness to share your experiences—both the positives and the areas for improvement—is what makes this process so powerful. This feedback is a gift. It helps us to celebrate what we are doing well and gives us a clear, employee-led mandate for where we need to focus our efforts to get even better.

It is crucial that this process leads to meaningful action. Your feedback is not simply sitting in a report. We are already using the insights gathered from the assessment to shape our strategy for the coming months and years. This includes refining our training and development programmes, enhancing our communication channels, and exploring new ways to support employee wellbeing. Our commitment is to ensure that Consult Construct continues to be a place where people feel they can build a fulfilling and long-term career.

What This Means for Our Clients

While the Investors in People accreditation is an internal measure of our organisational health, its benefits extend directly to our clients. A highly engaged, motivated, and supported team is one that is better equipped to deliver exceptional service.

Our Silver accreditation gives our clients confidence that:

• You are working with a stable and committed team: High employee satisfaction leads to high retention rates. This means you benefit from a consistent team that has a deep understanding of your projects and goals.
• You receive service from motivated experts: An empowered and valued team is one that takes greater pride in its work. Our people are more proactive, more collaborative, and more dedicated to achieving the best possible outcomes for your projects.
• Our business is built on strong ethical foundations: The IIP standard is rooted in principles of trust, respect, and integrity. Our accreditation shows that we operate our business in a way that reflects these values, giving you confidence in our partnership.

Ultimately, a happy and thriving team is one that is focused on client success. Our investment in our people is one of the most important investments we can make in the quality of the service we provide.

A Collective Achievement

This Silver accreditation is a celebration of every person who makes up Consult Construct.
