People are your competitive advantage, their good ideas make your business what it is.

The Investors in People Standard was developed and launched in 1990 based on good practice at some of the most successful organisations in the UK and the first company recognitions were made in 1991. Its aim is to provide a flexible framework to improve business competitiveness through the effective development of people. Today around 30,000 large and small organisations are using the standard as a framework to improve their business performance. That accounts for around one third of the UK workforce.
