HR Manager, Patricia Deane, said “Thanks to our dedicated and hardworking staff, we are delighted to have achieved the Investors in People standard again. We see this Award as a great reflection of the good management practices which are embedded in the organisation. It is also a testament to the positive commitment of our managers to continuous improvement in all we do, so that our patients and their families get the maximum benefit from our services.”

Since 1991, Investors in People has set the standard for better people management. The Standard defines what it takes to lead, support and manage people well. Successful accreditation against the Investors in People Standard is the sign of a great employer who understands that it is people that make the difference.  

Paul Devoy, said: “Organisations succeed by realising the potential of their people. The organisations receiving Investors in People accreditation today are proof of that. People’s strengths, ambitions and ideas are the engine of success. IIP accreditation signals to customers and employees your commitment to good business and people management excellence.”
