Investors in People is the national
Standard which sets out a level of good practice for training
and development of people to achieve business goals.
The Standard was developed during
1990 by the National Training Task Force in partnership with
leading national businesses, personnel, professional and employee
organisations such as the Confederation of British Industry
(CBI), Trades Union Congress (TUC) and the Institute of Personnel
and Development (IPD).
The work was supported by the Employment
Department.

The experiences of the UK's most successful organisations,
large and small, representing all sectors of the UK economy,
were very positive and the Standard received the full endorsement
of wide range of interested parties. The Standard provides
a national framework for improving business performance and
competitiveness, through a planned approach to setting and
communicating business objectives and developing people to
meet these objectives. The result is - what people can and
are motivated to do matches what the organisation needs them
to do. Investors in People is cyclical and should engender
the culture of continuous improvement. |
