'Gold Standard' Investor in People

News

25th November 2009

Nottingham based construction and logistics training provider, Learning World, is proud to announce its achievement of the ‘Gold Standard’ Investors in People (IiP) Award.

Investors in People is a framework of good practice that recognises an organisations commitment to its employees through business improvement. Learning World was required to demonstrate the business’ commitment to staff training and development by being assessed against nearly forty evidence measures. The independent assessor was so impressed with Learning Worlds systems and team orientated approach that they had no hesitation in awarding Learning World the prestigious IiP Gold Standard.

Over 30 staff from across the organisation were interviewed by the Investors in People assessor, including directors, line managers, administration and operational staff at all Learning World and HB Training locations across the UK.

Learning World’s Chief Executive Officer, Helen Smith comments:

“This is a huge achievement and I am delighted that we have achieved this high level of success. It is always helpful for an external organisation to review our processes and practices and in this case, to see and recognise the value we place on all our staff and how we support our teams to enable us deliver the very best service to our customers.” 

“Everyone at Learning World spends a great deal of time working to help our client businesses to develop their workforce through delivering high quality training. It makes good business sense to invest in our own staff to make sure that everyone has the right skills that they need to do their job; this includes ensuring that everyone understands their contribution to our business goals.”

“Given that we’ve grown so fast, to be awarded with the Gold Standard four years on since we were last assessed for IiP is a credit to all our teams at Learning World. As we continue to lead the way as one of the UK’s largest providers of sector specific training and assessment, we look forward to working towards our next IiP assessment in another four years time when Learning World can hopefully be awarded the ultimate accolade as a ‘World Class’ Investor in People.”
