Going for gold!

September 2nd 2010

Five Lamps have been successful in achieving the Investors in People’s Gold Standard.

The standard is awarded to organisations that demonstrate a commitment to the learning and development of their employees and achieve best practice in people management.   Less than 1% of all Investors in People organisations in the UK achieve the Investors in people Gold Standard, placing Five Lamps in a minority, alongside only 30 companies within the North East that have also achieved the standard.

This is a real achievement for Five Lamps and it means that we have achieved world-wide best practice. Five Lamps achieved the Gold Standard after being assessed in its engagement with employees, investment in and staff take-up of training, quality of appraisals and one-to-one sessions.

The gold standard award highlights the good practices that operate throughout the organisation and the excellent staff that we having working at Five Lamps.
