Why The Voluntary Sector Should Be Getting Involved
 
For many small voluntary sector organisations such as ourselves running on tight budgets, small staff teams and spiraling workloads setting aside precious time to take stock of current position, strengths and weaknesses along with planning for the future is difficult in the extreme!
 
However, for any organisation to flourish and move forward a way must be found to assess and benchmark its progress and development. For SCIPS Investors In People has provided just such an opportunity. It has given us a focal point to assess both our internal management systems along with our commitment to staff development and individual personal growth.
 
Such commitment should be a priority for any organisation, but is especially valuable in the voluntary sector where amongst small organisations retention of key workers is of paramount importance.
 
We first acquired Investors In People status back in September 2000 when the award was simply a case of 'yes you have reached the standard' or 'no you haven't.' We were rightly very proud of this award at the time as considerable effort went into achieving it.
 
When the time came to renew our Investors status in August 2003 we took the opportunity to have the Investors team produce for us an Organisational Profile Review. This profiling process had not been an option back in 2000 and has proved hugely beneficial to us, providing an opportunity to truly benchmark our progress against other like organisations.
 
Having realized the potential benefit of this new Organisational Profile Reviewing we have decided to include our full 2003 Investors In People report here, to allow other voluntary sector organisations to assess the potential benefit Investors In People status may bring to them and how this process would assist them in developing both their organisational ethos and business practices.
