Support

Vision and effectiveness - cascading the vision and direction of the organisation is one of the strongest levers you can pull to generate improved performance. Organisations that have Investors in People recognition are more likely to achieve organisational goals and meet their strategic objectives.

The key overall findings are:

Adopting Investors in People sets up a chain of impact resulting in better financial performance

This chain starts with adapting policies as a result of adopting Investors in People principles. This leads to greater levels of trust, co-operation and engagement of employees, as well as increasing the flexibility of the workforce enabling the organisation to adapt to change

Organisations perform better when their employees have clear goals and are supported by HR practices

The study also finds that the more an organisation embraces Investors in People principles the stronger the impact on financial performance.
