CPA Secretariat recognised with Investors in People silver award in recognition of its principles and practices as well as its human resources support for its staff

The Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) Headquarters Secretariat has received the Investors in People Silver award in recognition of its principles and practices as well as its human resources support for its 22 staff.

The accredited award follows a rigorous review process and places the CPA Headquarters Secretariat alongside a wide range of organisations that seek to provide and nurture the best possible working environment for their staff.

The CPA Secretary-General, Stephen Twigg said:

“Receiving the Investors in People Silver award for the CPA Headquarters Secretariat in recognition of our principles and practices is testament to the hard work of the CPA staff and our belief that the success of any organisation begins and ends with its people.

The Silver Award is recognition of the professionalism and dedication of the CPA Secretariat team. The comprehensive report from the IiP assessor provides a road map for us to consider and I look forward to working collaboratively with the staff team to agree and deliver further improvements.”
