Howes Percival confirms Investors in People reaccreditation

Leading law firm Howes Percival has confirmed it has achieved Investors in People accreditation for another three years.

The prestigious global benchmark for people management was originally founded in 1991 as a government project to make work better. Investors in People assesses how an organisation is performing against its ‘we invest in people’ framework and advises businesses on how to improve workplace culture in areas such as employee engagement, communication, organisational culture and work practices.

The firm has been accredited for 20 years and the process of reaccreditation involves organisations being assessed every three years across nine key indicator areas including leadership, values and behaviours, managing performance and continuous improvement. The process also includes a staff survey and interviews with employees. “This is also recognition for the investment we’ve made in our People team and the hard work they have been doing for a number of years now. Working through the Investors in People framework has had a positive impact on the quality of our people practices, helped us achieve higher levels of staff engagement and will help us recruit and retain the very best people going forward.”
