Investors in People Makes an Impact

Was the title for a recent article published by the "Institute of Employment Studies" who have established that almost four fifths of employers (79%) that have been recognised as Investors in People believed that the initiative had improved the quality of their workforce. Perhaps more importantly, around two thirds of the respondents believed that their involvement had made a positive contribution to business performance.

The survey also reveals a high level of joint involvement between Investors and other initiatives. 54% of employers are jointly involved with ISO 9000 and 70% are involved with NVQ’s.

One of the key benefits, employers believed, was Investors had particularly improved employee commitment and provided an increased understanding of the businesses wider aims and objectives.
