Organisation Development Services scoops IIP Silver
Despite being just four years old, the business has been awarded Investors in People (IIP) Silver status – marking achievements above and beyond the core IIP standard.
This level of achievement is rare among small to medium sized businesses and more commonly seen in larger and more established corporate organisations.
This level of achievement is rare among small to medium sized businesses and more commonly seen in larger and more established corporate organisations.
Donna Bradshaw, Joint Managing Director of ODS, said: “As a people-focused consultancy, gaining IIP accreditation is extremely important as it shows that we practice what we preach to our own clients.
“To have been accredited to such a high standard – we fell just a few points short of Gold status – is a significant achievement, and we are all thrilled.”
A key focus for ODS during the IIP process was to demonstrate how it is developing leadership skills across its 10-strong team – enabling everyone to play an active role in the future growth of the £1m turnover business.
Su Fowler-Johnson, ODS’ Director of Quality, said: “This was a rigorous assessment process that has really helped us to focus on how we can improve our business performance through our people.
“We were naturally delighted to receive such a high score and we are now working on our development plan for the next year, to ensure we continue to improve.”
We have set set up a network page on Linked in for those people interested in, or have attended training programmes on the ODS Population Centric Workforce Planning Programme
