 
AN INTRODUCTION
Everyone agrees that people
are an organisation's greatest asset, and we all know that for an organisation
to succeed everyone has to perform well. To achieve this, people need the right
knowledge, skills and motivation to work efficiently.
The Investors in People
Standard will give you a framework to ensure that you achieve this. It doesn't
matter what size or type of organisation you are, the Investors in People
Standard is there to help you improve the way you work. You have to meet the
same criteria – or 'indicators' – as other organisations, but the Standard
recognises that you will meet them in your own way. Investors in People
recognises that organisations use different means to achieve success through
their people. It does not prescribe any one method but provides a framework to
help you find the most suitable means for achieving success through your people.
Knowing that your investment is making
a difference
How can you tell that your investment in
people is making a difference? Having processes in place may be important, but
will not necessarily lead to the results you desire. The best way of finding out
what impact your investment in people has had is to talk to your people – to
find out what difference it has made to their team and the organisation. Only
then will you truly understand whether your investment in people has been
worthwhile.
