Investors in People accreditation
Investors in People (IiP) is a national standard awarded to organisations that place the development of staff at the heart of their business strategy. It is based on the view that organisations that train and develop their staff are the best equipped for success. We achieved accreditation for this important standard in 2000 and received highly positive feedback in the following areas:
- Communication
- Our appraisal process
- Strong management support
- Use of the annual employee survey
