What is Investors In People?
Investors in People is a practical, flexible and easy to use framework delivering organisational improvement through people. It centres on the development of people to achieve real results and continuous improvement for any organisation.
Focusing on your key priorities and objectives and where your people can help you achieve them, the Investors in People framework can be used by any type of organisation, of any size or sector.
So whether you are a small business, school, large multi-sited company or public organisation, working with the framework can bring improved performance as well as the achievement of a recognised quality mark.
Investors in People provides a baseline of good management practice which can be used by organisations to help with planning, enhance employee engagement, improve management effectiveness and also evaluate what is working and what needs further improvement.
It is not a tick box approach or a paper collecting exercise – it is about ensuring that everyone has the right knowledge, skills and attitude to be able to deliver your organisational objectives.
The Principles
The Investors in People framework is based on three key principles to help organisations focus on their priorities and improve performance through people. These key principles are plan, do and review.
Plan: Develop strategies to improve performance
Do: Take action to improve performance
Review: Evaluate and improve performance
These principles then break down into the ten indicators that make up The Standard as well as the wider Investors in People framework (for your overview of the framework, please download a copy below).
Increased productivity, staff motivation and customer satisfaction are some of the tangible benefits that thousands of organisations have gained by working with the framework. The principles that make up the Investors in People framework also underpin and support the practices that create High Performing Workplaces.
