Investors In People West Midlands

Brian Lord, Managing Director of Benfield Homes, explains the justification for working towards the Standard: "I attended an Investors in People seminar which suggested undertaking a survey to look at our employee satisfaction ratings.

Paul Taylor, Managing Director at CMT says: "When we originally looked into what was involved in achieving recognition of the Standard, we felt that many of the processes were already there within our business but perhaps not in a formal way.

The senior management team at Corus Multiproducts was aware that individual business units tended to operate independently, and felt that there were inconsistencies in how communication was handled across the business.

Dawn comments: "This is the first school I have worked in with Investors in People recognition, and I had never been through the process of either achieving or renewing the award.”

One of the main drivers for Mencap to achieve the status of an Investor in People was the increasing requirement by funding bodies for the organisation to use externally recognised quality standards.
