Broadgate Mainland achieves Bronze award in first ever Investors in People assessment

March 8, 2012 - PRLog -- In its first ever IIP assessment Broadgate Mainland exceeded the requirements of the core IIP standard and was awarded the prestigious Bronze standard. Of the 21,000 organisations recognised by IIP, just 9.5 per cent are awarded a bronze, silver or gold award.

Roland Cross, director, Broadgate Mainland, says: “We are very pleased to have surpassed the core standard and achieved bronze accreditation in our first IIP assessment.

“PR is a people driven business and the expertise and calibre of our staff is integral to the proposition we offer our clients. We constantly strive to make Broadgate Mainland a successful business which is also a great place to work and it is a real achievement to receive independent recognition of our focus on staff development, engagement and work/life balance.”

John Telfer, Managing Director of Inspiring Business Performance Ltd (IBP), the Investors in People Centre for London and the South of England, said: “Being presented with the Bronze award is a well deserved achievement for Broadgate Mainland. I would like to congratulate the organisation and its people on their commitment to continuous improvement, and encourage other businesses in the communications sector to learn from their fantastic example.”

Launched in 1991, IIP is the UK's leading people management standard. The Investors in People Standard is awarded to well-run organisations, which demonstrate good management practice with a high emphasis on best practice people management and development. IIP assessment is based on staff interviews by an external assessor, which take place during an on-site visit.
