Harrogate-based Raworths has retained its prestigious Investors in People (IIP) ‘We invest in people’ Gold accreditation, putting the firm in the top 15% of similar sized legal firms to achieve this internationally recognised benchmark for people management.
The Investors in People ‘Gold’ standard highlights organisations that demonstrate a proven commitment to delivering a positive and nurturing work environment for their people. To secure the accreditation, businesses undergo a rigorous assessment of their practices, policies, leadership and strategy – conducted by IIP’s independent assessors combined with feedback from employees.
Raworths – which was first awarded ‘Gold’ status in 2021 – has secured the accreditation for a further three years, reinforcing its commitment to creating a supportive environment where its 70-strong team can grow and thrive. The firm, which provides integrated commercial and private client services to businesses and individuals, is dedicated to delivering exceptional legal expertise and puts both its clients and its people at the heart of everything.
Simon Morris, Managing Partner at Raworths said “Our people are our greatest asset, and we constantly strive to create a workplace that is supportive, nurturing and dynamic at every level. Our team is supported to achieve both career development and work-life balance, and this, alongside an inclusive, collaborative environment, is what makes Raworths such a great place to work.”
Lisa Robinson, HR Manager at Raworths added “Continuing to invest in our people is a key growth strategy, and we’re looking to recruit more talented legal experts to join our team and start the next chapter of their career as part of one of the top legal firms in the North.”
Paul Devoy, CEO of Investors in People, said: “We’d like to congratulate Raworths. Gold accreditation on ‘We invest in people’ is a fantastic effort for any organisation, and places Raworths in fine company with a host of organisations that understand the value of people.”
