 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.
