IMPROVING BUSINESS PERFORMANCE    

“Adrian and I were thrilled to receive our Investors in People certificate, the whole process from beginning to end really helped us to provide the business with more direction and ensured that all our policies and procedures were updated.  It made us realise that we were actually meeting a lot of the requirements. However, we just needed to formulate them into a plan. We can now move the business forward during the downturn with confidence knowing that we have a sound business and training plan behind us.”  Buildtec

Investors in People - Testimonials

Public Sector

“Our Assessor was Richard Knight who has built up an enviable knowledge and understanding of our business over more than seven years.
We appreciated the lack of hard sell of the other levels of the Standard, at a time when our resources are likely to become scarcer.
We felt that Richard’s experience of Dorset Fire and Rescue and knowledge of Investors in People enabled him to work at the highest levels of the organisation and with staff at stations to translate our specific needs and requirements into useful business outcomes which mean that Investors in People is part of what we do.” Dorset Fire and Rescue

“Since achieving the Investors in People Standard in 2003, the organisation has undergone major change but we recognise that
our greatest asset is our workforce. We are committed to their learning and development and this achievement is a credit to everyone in the Council. The Investors in People Silver recognition underlines the ethos of the Council which is built around a desire to provide
excellent levels of customer service.” Sedgemoor District Council

"DWO are thrilled and very proud to have been awarded Investors in People Bronze status and look forward to working with Recognising Excellence Ltd in the future to improve our business and go for gold." Dorset County Council - DWO

"The Standard has helped us to confirm with all our staff that we know our people are our strongest asset.  From the person who works as little as two hours a week, to the most senior staff – they know what their role means and what part they play in our success. Our Investors in People journey has included developing annual staff awards evenings, creating an internal newsletter to keep everyone up to date in a fast changing environment, developing training programmes that meet the business needs and using strong business planning and reviews to monitor how well we are doing – against our business aims.  The standard has ensured we put new systems in place to create fair and consistent ways of working right across Somerset Leisure.  We believe the Investors in People standard helps us to improve our customer service."  Somerset County Council Leisure Services
