ACS Construction Group has been awarded Investors in People Gold (IIP) for the fourth consecutive time, retaining the gold standard for a decade.
ACS achieved advanced level practices on 7/9 indicators and an overall employee score of 747/900. The employee score was 20 points higher than the average IIP benchmark and 23 points higher than the average industry benchmark.
Culture, empowerment, and collaborative working were core areas which ACS highly achieved in. Alongside this corporate social responsibility and sustainability were also demonstrated as fully integrated with a genuine desire to give something back and set sustainability targets.
Some of ACS' highest scores included 100% of people saying they have the right level of responsibility to do their job effectively, they have all the information they need to do their job well and they are encouraged to use initiative in their role.
The prestigious IIP Gold accreditation is only awarded to a small percentage of business worldwide. The accreditation assesses two core areas processes and culture, with leadership being key to both aspects. The assessment comprises an employee survey and employee interviews. The assessment process is robust with a minimum percentage of employees having to complete the survey and a representative sample being taken across employee types for the interviews.
"IIP Gold is a good tool for us to see a benchmark of how we're doing with our people, culture, and processes. For us IIP isn't a box-ticking exercise, a trophy on your shelf, or a logo on your letterhead that you forget about once you have it. It’s a never-ending process of investment and improvement, a constant quest to be better. It's a commitment to building your people and your business to the same high standards as the projects you deliver to your clients," Danny Doohan, Operations Director, ACS Construction Group
