When the perks don’t work: The true value of investing in a culture of wellbeing

For an organisation to thrive, the people it employs need to be thriving too. There is a growing body of evidence that links healthy organisational performance with having a healthy workforce. However, research of employees and HR decision-makers conducted for Investors in People by YouGov finds that when it comes to investing in employee wellbeing, employers are putting their budgets and energies into the wrong areas. Our research found a significant mismatch in how employee and HR professionals think about wellbeing, with employees finding wellness initiatives less valuable and effective than HR decision makers imagine.

How to overcome leadership resistance to investment in wellbeing

Securing funding for employee wellbeing has never been easy but in today’s challenging economic environment it is more difficult than ever. Workplace wellbeing, however, is critical to employee performance and organisational success. So how can HR leaders persuade their CEOs that wellbeing is worth the investment, especially when competing with other business areas for funding? Investors in People have the answers.

How to create a high-quality apprenticeship scheme that delivers for all

At Investors In People we focus on what it takes to run a successful apprenticeship scheme. It’s why during this National Apprenticeship Week we’ll be hosting a networking event aimed, primarily, at those people whose job it is to develop and look after your organisation’s apprenticeship schemes. We know creating a successful apprenticeship programme isn’t easy, that it’s often a steep learning curve for those involved and that doing it well takes commitment from all levels in the business. Within this article you’ll find ideas on how make sure your scheme is a success.

Values Refresh - five hands in collaboration

Values refresh: what we learned when we decided to look again at who we are

Freshly inspired by our Make Work Better conference, the Investors In People team recently met to discuss and update our values. The day was led by our People Director, Beth Samson. This is her take on why it was such an important and useful thing to do and (spoiler alert) it’s got nothing to do with having a nice new set of words to put on our wall.

Making Work Better: How apprenticeships can futureproof your workforce

Perceptions of apprenticeships are changing. Once dismissed by the public as the poor vocational cousin to the university degree, they’re now seen by many as a genuine, often highly competitive alternative entry path to some of the most sought-after careers. Ahead of our Make Work Better conference, we’re taking a look at why so many now believe apprenticeships are the best way to address the UK’s skills shortage.
