Investors in People

What is Investors in People?

The Investors in People Standard is a business improvement tool designed to advance an organisation’s performance through its people. It was developed in 1990 by a partnership of leading businesses and national organisations. It is reviewed every three years to ensure that it remains relevant, accessible and attractive to all.

What does it mean to be accredited as an Investors in People Organisation?

In working with the Investors in People Standard, Hampshire County Council will have to demonstrate that it meets all of the indicators of the Standard.
Generally, it means that everyone in the organisation must:

• Know, understand and have agreed what is required of their job

• Know how to do the job and why they are important

• Have the necessary materials, tools, training and information to do the job well

• Be able to measure how well they are doing

• Know what to do when things go wrong

• Work within systems and guidelines designed to help, not hinder

• Be led and guided by managers.
