SEAL OF APPROVAL: 6TH GENERATION
INVESTORS IN PEOPLE STANDARD
» INVESTORS IN PEOPLE
(IIP) accreditation is an
outstanding achievement which
leading UK warm edge spacer
manufacturer, Thermoseal Group,
announces is delighted to have
been awarded.
The current standard IIP
involves a framework of nine
indicators organised under
the three headings of Leading,
Supporting and Improving. In
order to achieve accreditation, a
company must meet the standard
required within all 27 criteria.
The assessment process involves
a complete review of the business
including a staff survey and face-
to-face interviews with selected
members of all teams. All surveys
and interviews are conducted,
analysed and reviewed by
Investors in People assessors.
Commenting on the
accreditation, Gwain Paterson,
Managing Director at Thermoseal
Group, said: “At the crux of it,
accreditation means that every
single person is involved in
supporting each other to make
our workplace better.
“Over recent years, in line
with our business growth, we
have invested significant funds
into developing our recruitment,
training and the overall
development of our team. Every
member of staff has a training
and development plan in place
and we have also worked with
local colleges on Apprenticeship
Schemes in various roles.”
