The Guernsey Chamber of Commerce has retained its Investors in People accreditation for a further three years.
Investors in People is a framework which measures people management, and is used as a continuous improvement tool to ensure people excellence is at the heart of any organisation. The GTA’s Investors in People development consultant, Janine Lane, worked closely with Chamber to help it achieve reaccreditation.
‘The GTA is delighted that Chamber has retained its accreditation. You do not have to be a large corporate organisation to strive for accreditation. Gaining and retaining Investors in People status is a superb accolade; Chamber may be a small organisation but the team interacts with a huge number of businesses across the Bailiwick and maintaining the standard is key to sustaining operational efficiency and excellent customer service,’ said Mrs Lane.
Barry Cash, director, Guernsey Chamber of Commerce, said: ‘Reaccreditation is very important to Chamber as it ensures we are continuing to meet high standards of management practice. Investors in People underwrites the way the Chamber of Commerce looks after its own staff and anyone joining the organisation knows they can expect high standards. I would recommend Investors in People to anyone who wants to benchmark their organisation with the best in industry.’
He added: ‘The GTA University Centre has been a great help because it provides a reference point between the UK and Guernsey for Investors in People. The GTA has experts in their field and provides onsite help and advice when needed. This saves us time as we don’t need to source help from the UK.’
The GTA University Centre will be holding an introduction to Investors in People at lunchtime on 7 December. To find out more, please email GTA University Centre at [email protected]
