Issued on: 25 January 2010
The Pensions Trust has been awarded the prestigious Investors in People Gold Standard, which represents achievement of world class best practice and demonstrates that the Trust is operating at the highest levels of people management.
Carole Reid, Chief Executive at YHAL, the Investors in People Centre for Yorkshire & Humber, joined The Pensions Trust’s staff at their Leeds office on Thursday 21 January 2010 for a celebratory event and to present the Trust’s Chief Executive, Stephen Nichols, with the award (as pictured). Carole Reid said: “It’s an honour to present the Investors in People Gold Award to The Pensions Trust. They have achieved an exceptionally high standard to be recipients of this accolade, and it is a pleasure to share this celebration with all of the Trust’s employees”.
Within the national Investors in People database, which contains over 28,000 recognised organisations, The Pensions Trust is now part of an exclusive listing of 101 organisations who have successfully achieved Gold recognition - joining only another eight within the Yorkshire and Humber region.
To gain the Investors in People Gold accreditation, The Pensions Trust was assessed on ten separate areas of the organisation, from business strategy to people management strategy, via interviews and application forms.
Stephen Nichols, Chief Executive of The Pensions Trust said: “We are delighted to have been recognised as Investors in People since 2004 and are now exceptionally pleased to have been assessed against and awarded the prestigious gold standard. The award is a fantastic achievement for The Pensions Trust especially as we train our staff to exceed our customers’ expectations by anticipating their needs and proactively providing solutions – enabling us to generate a culture where exceptional results are not only possible but actually happen.”
