Gateley Smithers Purslow are celebrating after retaining platinum status of the Investors in People (IIP) ‘We invest in people’ accreditation for a decade.
The internationally recognised standard for people management is awarded to companies that demonstrate exemplary investment and dedication in building strong workplace cultures through effective people management, leadership and development.
Companies undergo a detailed accreditation process involving a thorough assessment of practices and policies, alongside an employee survey and individual interviews with team members, including senior management.
In 2016, we were within the top one per cent of worldwide organisations and the first within our industry peer group to achieve IIP platinum status. Since then, we have undergone periods of significant business transformation and rapid growth, including our acquisition by Gateley in 2022, while continuing to retain our core values and maintain platinum accreditation status.
The latest assessment results revealed that we had a 96 per cent response rate to our employee survey, outperformed our industry and the IIP average in nine indicator areas and was ranked as high performing in 25 of the key 27 framework markers.
