The Chartered Institute of Building is a globally recognised professional body dedicated to the science, ethics, and practice of built environments. With a rich history dating back to 1834, the organisation has always been committed to improving the quality of life for those involved in creating and utilising the built environment. This is achieved through accrediting educational courses, university degrees, and training, with an unyielding focus on maintaining the highest levels of competence and professionalism.

The Chartered Institute of Building is a champion of employee engagement, with regular Global Staff Update calls that provide a platform for sharing key business updates, celebrating successes, and fostering open communication. This commitment extends to its recent Corporate Plan, which was developed in full consultation with its employees, offering them opportunities to be part of the key workstreams.

Wellbeing is at the heart of The Chartered Institute of Building, with a dedicated team of Wellbeing Champions communicating regularly with the business. The organisation runs Take a Break and Learn sessions on various wellbeing initiatives and has celebrated My Whole Self Day across the business.

The Chartered Institute of Building also recognises and rewards its employees through the ACT Award and the Extra Mile award, both aimed at celebrating those who go above and beyond. The organisation is also committed to personal and professional development, demonstrated by the recent launch of a new Competency Framework, which aids in performance, growth, and development discussions.

Making the CIOB the best place to work it can be for all of our people is very important to me. I believe strongly that coming to work should be an enjoyable experience, and that we should all have the opportunity to grow, develop and contribute to the important work the CIOB is doing.
