Crossrail wins Investors in People Award


Crossrail won the ‘Excellence in the Public Sector’ category at the inaugural Investors in People Awards on 23 June, beating strong competition from Chelmsford City Council, the DVLA and City of Edinburgh Council.


RTM’s Roy Rowlands was a judge for the category and presented awards at the ceremony, held at the Investors in People ‘Gold’ accredited Landmark Hotel and hosted by Hugh Dennis.


Rob Jones, head of organisational effectiveness at Crossrail,


said:


“We are absolutely delighted to have won this award. Crossrail is


not just about delivering a major new railway for London and the South East; it is about investing in people, unifying them around a common goal, providing effective leadership but also increasing diversity in our industry and delivering a skills legacy that will benefit future UK infrastructure projects for decades to come.”


Glasgow Housing Association bagged the ‘Overall Award’ on the night.


Rowlands, business development director at RTM and sister title Public Sector Executive, said: “It was a fantastic


night and


great to see so many excellent organisations recognised for their success and ambition. The ‘Excellence in the Public Sector’ category had a very strong shortlist, making it a tough decision, but Crossrail won out in the end.”


The Awards received over 500 entries from different sectors all over the UK. They were established to recognise the best people management practices across the Investors in People community, including top workplaces, best bosses and highest achievers.


Paul Devoy, head of Investors


in People, said: “We were overwhelmed by the number and calibre of entries received for the inaugural Investors in People Awards. It’s fantastic to see so many organisations nominated, demonstrating great people management practice and a commitment to staff development.


“Our winners should be extremely proud.”
