siptel awarded coveted “Investors in People” status

A“Investors in People” is an important standard which helps organisations transform their business performance. The frameworks are outcome focused, outlining what you need to achieve, but never prescribing how. This flexible approach allows thousands of different employers of every sector and size to use the same framework.

“Investors in People” has grown to be the UK’s leading people management business improvement standard because it delivers improved performance to thousands of organisations. Currently almost seven million employees in over 35,000 organisations have achieved Investors in People recognition.
siptel is an independent IT, voice and data solutions provider, delivering business focused communication solutions and associated technologies to the mid-to-corporate enterprise market. siptel design, project manage and support a wide range of communication systems, applications and services.

siptel is privately owned and has been established since 2003. The company has grown significantly over the last few years with turnover increasing exponentially each year, and the employee headcount increasing too. Having looked at the range of business improvement tools in the marketplace, siptel identified the “Investors in People” standard as one which would help them significantly address any challenges facing the business now and in the future. Some of siptel’s motivation for improvement and change are listed below:

Both internal communication with employees and external communication with customers and other stakeholders needed to improve in order to develop stronger relationships and increase levels of commitment.
While the company’s leaders had a vision of where they wanted to take the business there was not a route map for how that vision was to be realised. By working with “Investors in People”, siptel hope to develop a more structured approach to business planning.
By working with “Investors in People” siptel hope to develop a more systematic approach to both inducting new recruits and succession planning to support the long-term development of the business.

Recent research demonstrates that “Investors in People” improves financial performance, increases profitability and helps organisations meet their strategic objectives. It is also recognised as a world class good practice, with a framework that has been developed over 18 years with some of the world’s leading organisations.

Steve Rasmussen, Director of siptel, said on the latest accreditation: "”Investors in People” is an excellent tool that can be used to identify ways of raising siptel’s performance and is a practical and reliable framework for continuous development". Rasmussen added, “I find the strategy of continuous development appealing, whereby the “Investors in People” advisers, assessors and self-check tools can tell how well we are performing, suggesting key performance indicators or providing tailored business advice on where to best focus development activity.”

siptel found the assessment to be thorough, however in light of siptel’s preparation for the assessment, we passed with flying colours and no remedial action was required.

The assessment report produced following the “Investors in People” appraisal has proven to be extremely valuable to siptel, in identifying both priority development areas as well as issues that may need to be addressed in the future.
