Northern Health and Social Care Trust achieves Silver Investors In People accreditation

The Northern Health and Social Care Trust has been recognised as a Silver level organisation by Investors in People.

The news follows its reaccreditation which took place between September and December 2022.

The Investors In People programme aims to improve workplace culture over time specifically in areas around employee engagement, communication, organisational culture and work practices.

The Trust was first endorsed by Investors in People back in 2018, and the recent process illustrated a welcome increase in average ratings across all nine People Measurement Indicators, with the outcome and associated feedback reflecting what has been achieved through the most challenging of times.

Staff recently came together to celebrate this significant achievement which provided an opportunity for project co-sponsors Jennifer Welsh, Chief Executive, and Jacqui Reid, Executive Director of Human Resources, Corporate Communications and Organisation Development to personally thank those involved for their contribution and dedication throughout the assessment process.

Reflecting on the achievement, Jennifer Welsh said: “This accreditation gives us the assurance that Team North is on the right track but we still have lots to do and I want to see a future where we are all coming in to work each day, proud of what we are doing, proud to be part of Team North. I want everyone to be able to say that Team North is more than a workplace – it’s who we are.”
