Skills for Logistics, has been recognised as an Investor in People organisation after achieving the Standard on 24 May 2010.
Skills for Logistics embraces a commitment to learning and development and is fully committed to developing workforce skills to achieve the wider business aims and objectives. We have used the Investors in People process to confirm that we have sound people practices and to allow us to achieve recognition of those practices.
Skills for Logistics CEO, Dr Mick Jackson, said: "Employees are central to success for any business so it is vital for staff to be skilled, flexible and motivated; this can be achieved through planned and consistent learning and development. The Investors in People framework ensures that if you look after your inputs the outputs will look after themselves." I am really pleased with this outcome, and for the hard work and commitment of our staff."
The standard is based on four key principles for people development:
-
Commitment to develop employees to achieve business goals
-
Planning to review learning and development needs in the context of the business
-
Action to assure relevant steps are taken to meet training and development needs
-
Evaluation to measure the outcomes of learning and development for individuals and the organisation.
