Investors in People

​Proud Gold Investors in People We are delighted to share that Arun Estates has once again been awarded the Gold Accreditation by Investors in People. Gold is one of the highest tiers in the Investors in People framework, a benchmark only awarded to the very top of 17% of organisations assessed. What makes this achievement especially special is that we are the only estate agent in the Southeast to hold the Gold status. This reflects both how far we’ve come since our first accreditaton in 2014 and how dedicated we are to being an employer of choice.

​What does an Investors in People Gold award mean?

The Investors in People Gold award is only awarded to the very top 17% of organisations assessed and we are the only estate agent in the Southeast that has received it again, which makes our achievement even more special!

We are incredibly proud of this accomplishment as we’ve been evaluated and proven to:

• Lead and inspire staff

• Empower and involve our staff

• Successfully manage staff performance

• Successfully structure work and build our staff’s confidence

• Recognise and reward high performance

• Deliver continual improvement in our staff

• Create sustainable success in our staff’s work

What Gold means and why it matters

Investors in People is a well-respected UK and international standard for people management. It recognises organisations that lead, support, and develop their staff to achieve excellence. To earn Gold, an organisation must consistently exceed expectations in multiple areas, not just meet minimum standards.

​In our most recent review:

• Our training programmes were ranked especially highly - a clear indication of how deeply we invest in developing our people.

• We demonstrated strong performance in leadership, staff empowerment, recognition, and in creating sustainable workplace practices.

This kind of accreditation signals to customers, community, and prospective team members that we stand for quality, integrity, innovation - values that translate into excellent service and enduring partnerships.

Achieving Gold isn’t the end of the journey. With this recognition in hand, we are more inspired than ever to:

• Continue attracting, developing, and retaining exceptional talent

• Further refine our leadership and learning programmes

• Stay responsive and innovative so that our workplace evolves with our people’s needs

• Uphold a culture where each person feels empowered and recognised
