Guidant Global Achieves Investors in People Platinum Level

Guidant Global has been awarded Platinum accreditation against the Investors in People standard, demonstrating our commitment to high performance through good people management. We are one of a handful of organisations in the South of England to achieve this level since the launch of the Sixth Generation Investors in People Framework. In achieving Platinum status, we've demonstrated that we are going above and beyond to ensure our on-going success.

Investors in People is the international standard for people management, defining what it takes to lead, support and manage people effectively to achieve sustainable results. Underpinning the standard is the Investors in People framework, reflecting the latest workplace trends, essential skills and effective structures required to outperform in any industry. Investors in People enables organisations to benchmark against the best in the business on an international scale.

Following an in-depth assessment process, Investors in People Assessor Kerry Hunn, found Guidant Global to be: “A fantastic organisation; an innovative, forward thinking organisation that is totally committed to quality in all parts of the company and its continuous improvement journey to meet its Vision of being ‘the most trusted in its field’. In support of this journey, there is a clear strategy, which is completely linked to and supported by its values and principles. These values and guiding principles are at the heart of every aspect of the way in which the company operates. It is truly a values-led organisation.” Across our organisation, Investors in People observed unique, leading edge and innovative practices such as:

• Moving performance management discussion to another level through Open Blend
• A culture of health and wellbeing through the benchmarking of scores and actions
• High integrity leadership
• Consolidating development options through Career Academy

Paul Devoy, Head of Investors in People, said: “We’d like to congratulate Guidant Global. Investors in People accreditation is the sign of a great employer, an outperforming place to work and a clear commitment to success. Guidant Global should be extremely proud of their achievement.” Commenting on the award, Mel Forbes, CEO of Guidant Global said: “I am absolutely thrilled that Guidant Global has been awarded IIP Platinum status. We value each and every one of our employees and always encourage them to “become the best version of yourself”. We also strive to create an environment where people enjoy coming to work and, in turn, are able to give their best, which ultimately benefits our clients. To be accredited in this way, by such a highly respected third party, gives our employees another reason to be proud to be part of #TeamGuidant.” For more information about Investors in People please visit www.investorsinpeople.com
