The NRLA has won Gold status from the Investors in People (IIL) scheme following a wide-ranging accreditation process that scrutinised its commitment to deliver a positive work environment for the organisation’s staff.

For the NRLA to achieve this accreditation it had to prove how every staff member played a part in ensuring the NRLA lives up to its purpose and values of supporting private landlords on a day-to-day basis.

The NRLA was adjudged to have met this standard following a rigorous examination of its commitment to staff that was conducted by IIP over recent months.

This assessment involved interviews with NRLA employees, close scrutiny of the steps taken to provide the best possible workplace for colleagues, and analysis of key performance indicators IIP use to identify best practice in this area.

The NRLA was also recently got into The Sunday Times’ list of ‘best companies’ to work for in the UK.

Paul Devoy (pictured), CEO of Investors in People, says: “We’d like to congratulate the NRLA. Gold accreditation on We invest in people is a fantastic effort for any organisation, and places the NRLA in fine company with a host of organisations that understand the value of people.”

Ben Beadle (main image, speaking at recent event), Chief Executive of the NRLA, says: “I am delighted that the NRLA has achieved this accreditation. This award is testament to the way in which the NRLA provides a welcoming environment where creativity and hard work are prized.

“It’s also clear evidence of the important role played by everyone at the NRLA, across every team, in helping make our company a truly dynamic organisation, for the benefit of our members and the wider private rented sector.

“The ‘gold standard’ is recognition of the enormous contribution of each and every colleague who make sure the NRLA is not just excellent at what it does, it is also a great place to work.”
