The UK Statistics Authority incorporating the Newport-based Office for National Statistics has again been recognised as an Investor in People with its silver accreditation.
Used internationally for people-management benchmarking, Investors in People defines what it takes to lead, support and manage people effectively to achieve sustainable results.
Paul Littler, head of learning and development at ONS, the UK’s largest independent producer of official statistics, said: “Businesses from more than 80 countries apply and we are very proud to once again be formally recognised.
“How ONS leads, supports and improves was carefully reviewed by Investors in People. As a multi-site employer, almost universally we were shown to have adopted certain values, including: an exemplary approach to learning, improved staff engagement and morale – with flexible working and a 'family friendly' culture identified.”
Head of IIP Paul Devoy said: “We’d like to congratulate the UK Statistics Authority and ONS. Investors in People accreditation is the sign of a great employer, an outperforming place to work and a clear commitment to success. The authority incorporating ONS should be extremely proud of their achievement.
