The Investors
in People Standard
provides a framework that helps organisations to improve
performance and realise objectives through the effective
management and development of their people
Everyone agrees that
people are an organisation's greatest asset, and we all
know that for an organisation to succeed everyone has to
perform well. To achieve this, people need the right knowledge,
skills and motivation to work efficiently.
No matter what the
size or type of your organisation, the Investors in People
Standard is there to help you improve the way you work.
You have to meet the same criteria – or 'indicators'
– as other organisations, but the Standard recognises
that you will meet them in your own way. Investors in People
recognises that organisations use different means to achieve
success through their people. The Standard does not prescribe
any one method, but it provides a framework to help you
find the most suitable means for achieving success through
your people. The Investors in People Standard is a business
improvement tool designed to advance an organization’s
performance through its people.
