Ruth Spellman, Chief Executive of Investors in People UK comments: "Putting people development at the heart of every function is the most cost-effective decision a business can ever make.
Employees are central to business success so it is vital for staff to be skilled, flexible and motivated; this can be achieved through planned and consistent training and development.
The Investors in People framework ensures that if you look after your inputs the outputs will look after themselves." The Standard is based on four key principles for people development: commitment to develop employees to achieve business goals and targets; planning to review training and development needs; and evaluation to measure the outcomes of training and development for individuals and the organisation.
Research conducted amongst recognised Investor in People organisations has shown that 80 per cent have increased levels of customer satisfaction and 70 per cent have improved their competitive edge and productivity.
