Alexander Mann Solutions attains Investors in People Bronze
Reaffirming a commitment to making people the foundation for success
27 July 2010 – Alexander Mann Solutions is delighted to announce that it has secured the prestigious Investors in People (IiP) Bronze award. The Bronze award places AMS within the top three percent of organisations to achieve this sought-after recognition, over and above the IiP Standard – for which AMS first received accreditation in April 2004.
IiP is a globally recognised framework which sets out how good people management practices can help achieve business goals. To attain the Bronze award, AMS had to fulfil 35 extra evidence requirements, in addition to the 37 core indicators required to achieve the IiP Standard.
AMS was awarded the accreditation following a rigorous, independent assessment. This involved meetings with a cross-section of 70 employees globally to review AMS’s people management practices. Bill Crabtree, Assessor at IiP says,
“Visiting AMS was a real privilege. It was fascinating to talk to staff in so many different countries and was impressive to get a sense of the same organisation from each… it was fascinating to hear how virtual teams work together, even though they are located in different countries”
“The organisation is full of bright, motivated, articulate and hardworking people…. Most of the people who work for AMS also appear to be driven by their own high standards of performance…. From an outsider’s perspective, AMS is a company where people are very engaged with the business and passionate about what they do.”
“AMS really deserves to be congratulated for some of the superb initiatives that are taking place.”
Rosaleen Blair, CEO and founder of AMS added,
“Renewal of our IiP accreditation was a priority for AMS’s Leadership Team as it reflects our continued commitment to being an employer of choice, and making AMS a great place to work. I’m proud that the Bronze award further recognises the hard work our fantastic employees put into our internal processes for the development and management of all our people. It shows our commitment to making people the foundation of our success and the passion we have for our business.”
