Czajka Awarded Top HR Accreditation

A West Yorkshire care company has been awarded with a prestigious accreditation after successfully introducing a number of new procedures that all enhance the standard of service that its residents receive.

Czajka Care Group has now achieved the renowned Investors in People certification. The company owns and operates Fairmount Nursing Home, Brookfield Care Home and Staveley Birk Leas Nursing Home, which are all in Nab Wood near Shipley, as well as Currergate Nursing Home in Steeton and Beanlands Nursing Home in Cross Hills. Czajka also provides purpose built retirement homes and operates The Clubhouse at Fairmount Park, which is a members only club with a wide range of leisure facilities.

The ‘Investors In People’ assessors visited all Czajka’s sites and interviewed a cross-section of the company’s employees. In addition, the assessors took an in-depth look at the company’s business strategy, development opportunities for staff, the effectiveness of the management team and its recognition and reward schemes.

Areas that were highly commended include a recently introduced software system that assesses, plans, implements and evaluates every aspect of the care home business as well as storing detailed resident information. In addition, the assessors praised the company’s decision to appoint a ‘Dignity Champion’ who is responsible for ensuring that dignity, choices and respect are at the heart of all the company’s operations.

Konrad Czajka, Managing Director of Czajka Care Group, says: “Employing great people is a key aspect of being successful in the care industry and to receive this globally recognised mark of excellence, that’s largely based on the positive attitude and pride within our team, is just fantastic.

“We always strive to realise the full potential of our people and this continually translates into the high standard of care and service that our residents enjoy. The assessors recognised this and were extremely complimentary about all of our homes, the optimistic mind-set of our entire team, and the fact our residents are at the heart of everything we do.”
