Investors in People
Christopher Craggs
2007 - 2019
As many will know, we’ve been Investors in People fans since 2007. Sadly, following the buy-out of the brand in 2016, that organisation has lost its way.
Specifically, no thought to the value we – the organisation and our people - place on our assessment to Platinum and (when previously this was the highest grade) Gold.
We will therefore not be continuing to be assessed to the IiP standard.
Sadly, there is currently no valid alternative : a rigorous, 3rd-party assessment by which we could evaluate our own efforts and inform prospective colleagues of our standards – so we welcome customers, suppliers and prospective employees who have questions to come, visit and make their own assessment of how we invest in our people.
Particularly disappointing that we lose contact with Dave Barrett who has been a much-valued, critical friend – although, opportunely, he would have been retiring anyway, thank you Dave.
We hope – and would fervently support the development of a credible, rigorous, graded evaluation of the way in which organisations manage People.
