Investors in people

In January 2016, we were awarded the Investors in People Gold Accreditation, receiving maximum points (100%) on our assessment.

Fast forward to February 2019, and we’re honored and humbled to announce that we have been awarded Investors in People Platinum Accreditation – the first organisation on the North American side of the Atlantic Ocean and within the top 1% of the IIP community who have reached this landmark level.

Since 1991 Investors in People have set the standard for better people management. Joining a community across 75 countries worldwide, SteppingStones’ successful Platinum accreditation is a sign of our ongoing effort to stay up to date with best practice, essential skills and effective structures required to outperform in our industry.

The award is a source of great pride to our company, and shows our dedication to creating the best possible environment for employees so that we in turn can provide the highest level of service to our clients.
