The simple answer is that we were very honoured to be invited to enter the Investors in People Awards this year in the Employer of the Year 2025, 2-49 category.
We did not want to pass-up on this opportunity of recognition from the highly regarded Investors in People organisation and brand, so we set about entering.
In the first instance we were very proud to be invited to enter the Investors in People Awards this year and this selection alone was a great boost to team UKP to be recognised for the collective achievement of all of the hard work and dedication from the whole team. To then be shortlisted has elevated us even more than we could have expected.
We are in the 2-49 employee’s category and have worked with the IIP team over the last few years to give honest feedback in our audits so that we can identify and tackle the areas that need attention for us to be the best organisation we can be for our employees.
This category means we don’t have a huge people resource, big budgets and internal HR specialists to lean on, so it is even more meaningful to us that we have got this far.
I am so proud that the organisation and the people that make it what it is are being recognised in a category of one of the top companies in the country.
Winning this award will be far more than just a badge and trophy on the night. That accolade will be tremendous, however, being able to say both internally and externally that we have been chosen from so many companies in the UK as an employer that takes seriously its responsibilities to its team of employees to be the best it can be and empower its people to be the best that they can be is what we can shout about.
Being the organisation that we are we will also see this as a springboard to achieve even more for our next audit as we have ambitions to achieve a gold award!
The journey to create an organisation where the employees are supported in their growth in the company, have a voice, are treated with respect, honesty and transparency would be so much harder without the experience, knowledge and objective input from the Investors in People assessors and the larger community, so we welcome the time and input that we get along with the opportunity to join in with various webinars and conferences that expand our knowledge and experience.
