Full service communications agency drpgroup has been awarded the Investors in People (IIP) Gold Award.
The IIP scheme rewards and recognises businesses that show continued focus on the development of their team through better business practices, training programmes and a ’people first’ approach.
The drpgroup has been part of the scheme for over 10 years and has achieved the Bronze, Silver and now Gold status.
“As with any business at the moment, the climate has been quite unsettling over the last few years,” says MD of drpgoup, Dale Parmenter. “At the drpgroup, our people are our business and it’s so important to myself and the board of directors that they have an exceptional working environment to deliver in. We’ve invested £3.6m in new facilities, new equipment and most importantly, training and development for our people. We are thrilled the Investors in People assessors recognised this with the awarding of Gold Status.”
The assessment took place over several days and was carried out by specialists from IIP, Julie Cowmeadow and Betty Bullock.
IIP is a recognised scheme throughout a variety of sectors and industries, and is assessed on a three-year accreditation process.
