The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) is proud to announce it has achieved We Invest in People gold accreditation for the second time.

The world’s largest professional body for construction management, was first award gold status in 2024, and following reassessment this year, it has once again met the criteria to be held up as a top employer.

CIOB’s gold status reflects its commitment to its employees and ongoing work to support those at all levels and stages of their careers. Key factors in the organisation retaining gold included opportunities for flexible working, visibility of senior leaders, acting on employee feedback and employees feeling trusted to make decisions.

Dr Victoria Hills, CEO at CIOB, said: “Having only joined CIOB at the start of year, I’m proud the gold status we held when I joined has been maintained. It’s great to hear from Investors in People that our colleagues see CIOB as somewhere to build a career and a great place to work. Much credit goes to all those who uphold our values and are dedicated to supporting each other, as well as providing excellent service to our global community of members.”

Investors in People assess how an organisation is performing against the We invest in people framework. They provide advice and support on improving workplace culture over time specifically in areas around employee engagement, communication, organisational culture and work practices. Only 28 per cent of organisations achieve gold status.
