Elmbridge Is A Champion
Elmbridge Borough Council is delighted to announce two recent successes in relation to Investors in People (IiP).
Firstly, Elmbridge Borough Council has retrospectively been awarded Gold Status in its Investors in People assessment (IiP).
This is the very highest accolade among the 38,000 public and private organisations that have IiP and requires them to achieve above a threshold score on the higher "Profile" standard. Elmbridge has exceeded this and becomes one of a handful of organisations to have their people practice accredited at this level.
In addition, Elmbridge Borough Council has been selected to be an Investors in People Champion. Investors in People Champions are a prestigious group of role model organisations that promote Investors in People through a series of best practice sharing activities.
The purpose of the Championship programme is to:
- Recognise and reward organisations which have been outstanding in promoting the values and principles of Investors in People. They lead by example in the way they manage and develop their people
- Share and learn - encouraging the dissemination of practice in people management, to support the continuous improvement, and raise performance
- Champion Investors in People
|Cllr Christine Elmer, Portfolio Holder for Corporate Development said, "This outstanding result is well deserved and the achievement says a great deal about the Council as an organisation and the quality of staff it employs".
|Robert Moran, Chief Executive for Elmbridge Borough Council, said, "The new champion status reflects the emphasis we place on investing in staff development. We know that developing quality employees helps ensure we deliver quality services. The result is well deserved and puts Elmbridge Borough Council at the forefront of IiP nationally".
