Hanover Scotland has become the third Scottish housing association to be recognised by Investors in People with a gold award for the prestigious We Invest in Wellbeing accreditation.
The certification is a testament to the housing association’s drive of being proactive and having an engaging approach to enhancing the health and wellbeing of its teams.
By fostering a supportive and inclusive workplace, Hanover has demonstrated a profound commitment to enhancing the quality of life for its people, ensuring that wellbeing is interwoven into the fabric of its operations.
