“Mike explained the requirements of Investors in People in a clear and simple way. He made recommendations on establishing our Vision and Values to support our objectives and checked our progress towards our goals” Marhea Blankson, Project Skills:
| Tools and Techniques Used - Investors in people Framework This is the most successful framework for business improvement through people: it is easy to use, flexible, and focused on outcomes. The framework tells you what you need to achieve to meet your organisations goals - at the same time recognising that every organisation is different - so the exact way you reach your end goal will depend on what's best for you. The IiP framework has been successfully used by more than 35,000 organisations in 50 countries - including start-ups with two people, charities, and major corporations employing thousands of people. Once the key business issues were defined, we applied three core principles that the framework helps you focus on: Plan: Develop strategies to improve performance. Do: Take action to improve performance Review: Evaluate and improve performance ![]() The three principles break down into ten indicators. At MENFA we invited people to review each of the indicators in turn (one each week) and discuss exaples of how these were applied in the practice. To become an Investor in People, MENFA were assessed against all the evidence requirements of each indicator. As a result of this process, staff became more confident and processes became easier to implement by the volunteers. People knew what was expected of them, and there was a more open, approachable and supportive culture. Everyone confirmed that there is open communications and plenty of opportunities to receive constructive feedback including staff and project meetings, one to one reviews, and informal discussions at the end of project activities |
