A unique opportunity for customers to visit a Gold status organisation. 

Forever Living Products, based in Warwick, markets Aloe Vera products throughout the UK by way of a network of Distributors.  Part of a global organisation, FLP champions the use of highly effective people strategies to great success.  Supported by an impressive set of core values which are developed by the staff, the company goes from strength to strength. FLP are keen to share their culture and the positive impact that the ethos of continuous improvement has on employees and the bottom line.  This is a rare chance for companies to glimpse behind the scenes of an exemplar business. 

Located in a beautiful setting, FLP invite visitors to a memorable event including a presentation from the MD and a traditional cream tea on the lawn.  We can promise you a inspiring visit but I’m afraid we can’t guarantee the weather!    www.foreverliving.com

Introduction to Investors in People

This workshop is aimed at, and restricted to, organisations which are not yet Investors in People. The session will provide an overview of the Investors in People Framework, the benefits using it will bring for your organisation and your people and guidance on how to get started. It will also provide attendees with the opportunity to network with people from other organisations just embarking on their journey to accreditation. 

Preparing for Assessment/Review

The first two sessions of the day will give you an understanding of:

• The background and development of the Investors in People Standard and what it is all about
• Key revisions to the Standard
• The extended Framework
• The potential benefits to your organisation through working with the Standard and the Framework

• The Assessment and post-recognition Review process and what Assessors look for as evidence
• Which elements of the Framework could be most appropriate for your organisation to be assessed against to ensure you gain feedback on the wider business issues that matter most to you.
• The Review options available to you for maintaining your recognition as an Investor in People organisation.

Business Continuity Management

The workshop will be an introduction to Business Continuity Planning.   Delegates will see how a business continuity plan is compiled and will have ample opportunity to relate this to their own organisation. Delegates will have the opportunity to discuss challenging areas where applicable to ensure all leave with the basis of a workable draft plan by the end of the day.
