Welcome to
the International
Investors in People
Awards 2016.
Tonight we are welcoming finalists from across the globe
to recognise high performing workplaces, bosses and
employers across the IIP Community. 2016 is the 25th year
of Investors in People. This evening we will also be recognising
some long service awards for employers that have chosen
to put their people at the heart of their organisation for
many years.
Paul Devoy
Head of Investors in People
The Awards are the perfect way to recognise the people
that make the difference in your organisation every day.
The judges have been astounded by the high standard
of entries this year. A rigorous process has whittled down
over 300 entries to just 84 finalists across 10 main categories.
All shortlisted organisations should feel extremely proud.
As employers from different industries and sizes, I am
proud that we are joined here this evening to celebrate
one common commitment – the people that make our
organisations successful every day.
Because good people make a great business.
From Manilla to Manchester.
There’s a winning team behind
every awards finalist.
It’s time they joined the action.
