McCrea Financial Services today reveals we have secured the coveted Investors in People Platinum (IIP) award.

IIP Platinum is the international standard for people management and enables organisations to benchmark against the best in the business on an international scale. The standard defines what it takes to lead, support and manage people effectively to achieve sustainable results.

Securing platinum level from IIP is the highest recognition that any company can secure. It is only awarded after a rigorous assessment of the organisation, and only a small number are accredited each year.

Reporting on McCreas, IIP said, “It is clear from the improvements shown in our Assessment Report that the business has progressed significantly across many fronts over the last few years. Business levels and turnover have clearly increased and there have been a good number of improvements with your people and reward and recognition strategy.” This has manifested itself in a staff satisfaction level sitting at 86% (up from 79%) when assessing all indicators.

McCreas are Independent Financial Advisors, based in central Glasgow who provide advice on investments, mortgages, pensions, retirement and tax planning. McCrea Financial Services director Douglas McCrea comments: “I am delighted to reveal that we have secured the Investors in People Platinum Award. Our commitment to creating a supportive and enjoyable place to work is reflected by the fact that we are one of very few businesses in Scotland who have received this award.”
