The release of an Investors in People (IIP) report, focused on Housing Corporation employees and their levels of commitment to the organisation, has found that the social housing regulator is in very good stead as it moves into a new era.

The report, conducted in accordance with national guidelines and the quality assurance requirements of Capital Quality Limited, says the Corporation has achieved excellent levels of attainment against IIP measures and sees it regain accreditation to the organisation.


Housing Corporation Chief Executive Steve Douglas said: "The report is a positive endorsement of our approach to learning and development and shows the level of commitment that our staff have, particularly at a time of great change for us and the sector.

"One comment made in the report by a staff member says that 'We have never been in better shape and have reached a level we did not think possible. This applies to all areas'.

"Going forward this puts us in a strong position to provide a strong platform as the new Homes and Communities Agency and the Tenant Services Authority, set to be established 1 December, will inherit this strong commitment and dedication to people, places and communities."
