The Pensions Trust has been awarded the prestigious Investors in People Gold Standard, which represents achievement of world class best practice and demonstrates that the Trust is operating at the highest levels of people management.
Within the national Investors in People database, which contains over 28,000 recognised organisations, The Pensions Trust is now part of an exclusive listing of 101 organisations who have successfully achieved Gold recognition - joining only another eight within the Yorkshire and Humber region.
To gain the Investors in People Gold accreditation, The Pensions Trust was assessed on ten separate areas of the organisation, from business strategy to people management strategy, via interviews and application forms.
Investors in People offers a practical, flexible and easy to use tool for improving business performance and competitiveness through good practice in people management.
An organisation that has achieved Investors in People has been successful in adopting and maintaining its three fundamental principles: Plan – developing strategies to improve the performance of the organisation, from business goals to leadership strategies; Do – implementing those strategies, taking action to improve the performance of the organisation; Review – evaluating and adjusting those strategies, measuring their impact on the performance of the organisation.
Champion status for The Pensions Trust
The Pensions Trust achieved the esteemed title of Investors in People Champion in April 2010 in acknowledgement of our true commitment to improving performance through people.
With less than 45 Champions nationally, The Pensions Trust joins a prestigious group of role model organisations all of which promote and champion Investors in People through best practice activities.
To become an Investors in People Champion all applicants to the programme must hold Investors in People Gold recognition, an accolade the Trust achieved in December 2009.
By achieving Champion status, The Pensions Trust is committed to sharing and also learning from their experiences, encouraging the dissemination of good practice in people management and supporting continuous improvement.
