WHAT IS THE INVESTORS IN PEOPLE STANDARD?
The Investors in People Standard is a recognised and internationally respected business improvement tool, and the only standard focusing exclusively on people.
More than a third of UK employees now benefit from working for around 35,000 recognised Investor in People organisations. The Standard provides a flexible framework you can adapt to suit your organisation, whatever your size or sector.
The Standard places emphasis on maximising the contribution of employees to an organisation. It incorporates personal and organisational development, staff recruitment, training, motivation and communication, leadership and management issues, the effective delivery of plans and the review of performance to assist continuous improvement.
The Investors in People Standard is based on three key principles:
- Plan – Developing strategies to improve the performance of the organisation.
- Do – Taking action to improve the performance of the organisation.
- Review – Evaluating the impact on the performance of the organisation.
The Investors in People Standard is a fully flexible tool that can be adapted to suit each organisation individually. Whether you are a small building firm, a doctor’s surgery, a retail outlet, a local authority or part of a large international conglomeration, it provides clear direction on how to improve the relationship between the organisation and its employees, and ultimately, the bottom line.
People are at the heart of what each organisation does and success depends on getting the maximum out of everyone. That’s what Investors in People is all about.
