Sopra Group is recognised as an ‘Investor in People’ (IiP). This marks the organisation’s approach and commitment to the continuous improvement of people processes and practices.
This manifests itself in a clear and consistent approach to the management and development of our people.
The IiP award is the national standard which sets the level of best practice for improving an organisation’s performance through its employees. It shows that the organisation really considers its people as its most important asset and acts upon this belief.
In order to retain the award, we need to subject our organisation to a vigorous programme of inspection every three years.
Our approach is to be assessed each year against part of the Standard so that by the end of the three-year period we will have been assessed against the whole Standard.
In April 2009, we successfully negotiated our first annual assessment against the Investors in People principle: Taking action to improve the performance of the organisation.
This showed that we continue to meet the Standard in the areas of Management Effectiveness; Reward and Recognition; Involvement and Empowerment and Learning and Development..
