STFC receives Investors in People Gold award

STFC is celebrating after being awarded Investors in People (IiP) Gold accreditation. Investors in People provides a best practice people management standard, offering accreditation to organisations that adhere to the Investors in People framework. Having achieved Silver accreditation in 2011, STFC is delighted to have achieved Gold accreditation following its latest IiP review.

The Gold standard review offered a more in-depth review of STFC, with assessors seeking evidence from a wider criterion of indicators – including how STFC aligns people practices to the achievement of organisational success, how individuals contribute to this, and how we develop and lead our people to achieve this. Assessors visited STFC’s main UK sites (the Rutherford Appleton LaboratoryUK Astronomy Technology CentreDaresbury Laboratory and our Swindon headquarters), and over 100 members of staff were selected for interview, representing a cross-section of the organisation.

Working with Investors in People is proven to improve performance and productivity by helping to manage change, engage with employees and enhance leadership capabilities. According to the awarding body, becoming accredited as an IiP employer shows that you are ambitious, forward thinking and people-focused.

STFC’s Chief Executive, Professor John Womersley said: “Aiming for the Gold standard was a challenging objective and to reach it is an outstanding achievement! We can be very proud of this external recognition of the continued  progress we have made in our people management standards in the three years since our last Review.”

STFC is committed to continuous improvement, and the full review report will be used to ensure we continue to develop as an organisation. We’re always looking for talented people to join our team, so find out more about how you can work with us.
