Investors in People Platinum

St Ann’s Hospice is delighted to be awarded We invest in people platinum accreditation by Investors in People. 

Platinum is the highest level of accreditation possible to achieve on the We invest in people accreditation framework.  

Only 7% of organisations assessed achieve platinum and at the heart of the accreditation it shows that every single person at St Ann’s is involved in supporting each other and is doing their best to make work better.   

It means policies and practices around supporting people are embedded in every corner of St Ann’s Hospice. And in a platinum organisation everyone knows they have a part to play in the hospice doing well, and is always looking for ways to improve.  

The report that followed our Investor in People assessment highlighted that St Ann’s Hospice is a place where a values-driven, high-performance culture is more than just a concept—it’s how the organisation lives and works every day. It congratulated the hospice on focusing on leadership, accountability, empowerment, recognition, learning, and innovation, which enable the organisation to not only provide excellent care but also create a thriving environment for your team. 

87.6% of those staff who completed the survey as part of the accreditation agreed that ‘St Ann’s is a ‘great place to work’. 

I couldn’t be prouder of this achievement. The success of our hospice and the excellent care we provide to our patients and their loved ones, starts and ends with our people.  It is vital that our workforce feel valued and empowered. We couldn’t do what we do at St Ann’s without them and this accreditation is testament to each and every member of staff and volunteers working to make our hospice the special place it is, and always striving for more ways to improve. Gill Turnpenney, Director of People, Culture & Support Services at St Ann’s Hospice

Paul Devoy, CEO of Investors in People, said: “We’d like to congratulate St Ann’s Hospice. Platinum accreditation on We invest in people is a remarkable effort for any organisation, and places the hospice in fine company with a host of organisations that understand the value of people.”
