"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."

Your Investors in People Journey

The journey starts with us finding out what your performance targets or key priorities are. These then become central to all our work, so we support  your business plan and maximise the value you gain from working with us.

Our approach enables you to tailor your assessment to your organisation’s unique business needs. As a result, all our support will be focused on your priorities, making the whole experience more relevant and meaningful. The whole process is pragmatic and forward–looking therefore moving your organisation forward to continuously improve.

You’ll find your assessment is simple as it is almost entirely based on interviews with people from across your organisation and requires only minimum form-filling.
