Work matters: Management focus - Invest in your staff

Management
Striving to achieve the Investors in People standard is an effort that pays off for the workforce and nursery children, says Karen Faux.

The benefits of achieving the Investors in People (IiP) standard are wide-ranging for nurseries - particularly at a time when there is a huge emphasis on workforce reform.

The standard provides a framework for encouraging staff who are flexible and adaptable, and who are willing to learn about the business and develop their practice.

The Investors in People standard is based on the experiences of all types of successful UK companies that have shown that performance is improved by a planned approach to:

- setting and communicating business goals

- developing people to meet those goals

- ensuring that what people can do, and are motivated to do, matches what the business needs them to do.
