Arc

Nominated for The Award for UK Employer of the Year: Platinum (2-49 people)

Why did you enter the Investors in People 2025 Awards?

We entered the Investors in People Awards because they represent the gold standard for people management and organisational excellence. At Arc, our vision is to shape the world of flexible work into a better place for all, and that starts with how we support, develop, and engage our people. These awards give us the opportunity to benchmark ourselves against the best, celebrate the progress we’ve made, and showcase the impact of our values-driven culture.

For us, it’s not just about recognition; it’s about accountability and continuous improvement. Entering the awards challenges us to keep raising the bar, ensuring that as we grow, we remain committed to creating an environment where our people thrive, our clients trust us, and our communities benefit.

What has it meant to you, your team, and your organisation to be shortlisted for an Investors in People 2025 Award?

Being shortlisted for an Investors in People Award is a huge moment of pride for all of us at Arc. It validates the hard work and commitment we’ve put into creating a culture where people truly matter. For our team, it’s a confidence boost and a reminder that the way we support, develop, and engage our people is making a real difference. For the organisation, it reinforces that our values of We Care, We’re Honest, We Deliver aren’t just words on a page; they’re lived every day and recognised at the highest level.

This achievement has energised us. It’s sparked conversations about what more we can do, how we can keep improving, and how we can continue shaping the world of flexible work into a better place for all. It’s not just an accolade; it’s a milestone that motivates us to keep raising the bar.

What would it mean to your organisation to win an Investors in People 2025 Award?

Winning an Investors in People Award would be an incredible milestone for Arc. It would validate everything we stand for, which is our commitment to shaping the world of flexible work into a better place for all, and our belief that people are at the heart of sustainable success. For our team, it would be a proud moment of recognition for the passion and effort they put into living our values every day. For our clients and partners, it would reinforce that they’re working with a business that prioritises excellence, integrity, and continuous improvement.

More than a trophy, it would be a symbol of trust and progress and would be seen as a benchmark that inspires us to keep innovating, keep listening, and keep creating an environment where our people thrive and feel empowered to be the best version of themselves. It would energise us to push even further, knowing that our approach to engagement, development, and wellbeing is not only working but leading the way in our industry.

How important is it for your organisation to be a part of the Investors in People community and engage in awards and events like this one?

Being part of the Investors in People community is hugely important to Arc because it connects us with organisations that share our commitment to putting people first. It’s not just about the recognition for us, as it’s about learning, sharing best practices, and continually raising the bar for how we support and develop our teams. Engaging in awards and events like this allows us to benchmark ourselves against the very best, celebrate progress, and gain fresh insights that help us improve.

For us, these events reinforce our values and ensure that they are aligned with a global standard of excellence. They inspire our leadership and our people to keep innovating, keep listening, and keep creating an environment where everyone can thrive. Ultimately, being part of this community helps us deliver on our vision.
