Investors in People Extended Framework
There have been some very recent changes to the way that organisations approach Investors in People. Investors in People UK are providing organisations with greater flexibility and choice around the way in which they choose to work with the Investors in People framework. By focusing on individual objectives, organisations can align the framework more closely with their business objectives and therefore forge a more relevant link with the Standard, thus gaining even greater benefits.
New Approach
Committed organisations can choose to be assessed against one or more additional ‘themes’ within the extended framework which could take them above ‘Level 1’ of the Standard.
Don’t be alarmed! The content of the Standard remains exactly the same and, in order to become a recognised Investor in People, an organisation must still be assessed against, and meet all of the ten indicators of the Standard. |
|
However, to support the ethos of continuous improvement, an organisation can now opt to be assessed at a higher level against selected indicators and to receive valuable, independent feedback as part of the assessment process. This means that each assessment will be planned and tailored to each individual organisation with feedback presented in a format that is much more meaningful to you.
As one of three regional assessment centres who undertook a successful pilot of this new way of working earlier on this year, we in the West Midlands are ahead of the game. Investors in People UK are planning to launch this approach across the remainder of the assessment centres in early 2009.

Investors in People Interactive

Mentoring
As an organisation that has committed to working towards achieving recognition as an Investor in People, you may feel that you would benefit in learning from the experiences of someone within an organisation that is already recognised.
WMQC has a number of trained mentors from recognised organisations who are willing to share their knowledge and to act as an independent and objective source of help. Mentors provide support on a voluntary basis but do not advise organisations – they are an additional source of assistance and guidance. |
