Recovery Connections

The Investors in People Awards 2025 - Finalist Case Study

Nominated for The Award for Best Culture (over 100 employees)

Why did you enter the Investors in People 2025 Awards?

We are immensely proud of our culture and values as a lived experience recovery organisation. Recognition through the Investors in People Awards is not only a celebration of our team’s commitment and growth, but also a reflection of the dedication and professionalism within the Lived Experience Recovery Organisation (LERO) sector as a whole. Entering the awards allows us to showcase how people with lived experience can lead, inspire, and drive meaningful change within their communities, and highlights the power of a values-driven, recovery-focused workplace.

What has it meant to you, your team, and your organisation to be shortlisted for an Investors in People 2025 Award?

Being shortlisted is a massive honour and a real affirmation of our people-first culture. Our team invests heart and soul into creating a workplace that supports wellbeing, growth, and connection — values that lie at the heart of recovery. For us, this recognition validates that our approach is working, and it celebrates every person who brings their lived experience, compassion, and authenticity to Recovery Connections each day.

What would it mean to your organisation to win an Investors in People 2025 Award?

Winning would be an incredible recognition of the hard work, passion, and authenticity that drive Recovery Connections. It would demonstrate that lived experience-led organisations can achieve the highest standards of leadership, wellbeing, and people development. For our team, it would be a moment of collective pride — proof that our values in action truly make a difference. For the wider LERO community, it would shine a light on the sector’s contribution to workforce wellbeing, inclusion, and community transformation.

How important is it for your organisation to be a part of the Investors in People community and engage in awards and events like this one?

Being part of the Investors in People community connects us to a network of organisations that share our belief that people are at the heart of success. Engaging in awards and events provides opportunities to learn, share best practices, and continue improving how we support and develop our team. For us, it’s about continuous growth — staying curious, celebrating others, and ensuring our people and culture remain our greatest strength.
