Investors in People

Introduction

We will adopt the Investors in People (IiP) model as the guiding framework for the way we manage, support, and develop our permanent staff and volunteers. This approach places people at the heart of organizational success, ensuring that leadership, recognition, performance, development, and continuous improvement are embedded into our culture. By following the IiP principles, we aim to create an environment where staff feel valued, motivated, and empowered to contribute to both their own growth and the achievement of our shared goals.
