Investors in People and 2inspire team up to launch “Investors in People Week 2007”

Investors in People, the awarding body of the nationally recognised mark of excellence in business practice, have named the week commencing 5th November 2007 “Investors in People Week”. Comprising a series of events designed to publicise the business benefits conveyed by Investors in People accreditation, the launch of this year’s Investors in People week marks the announcement of a high profile alliance between Yorkshire and Humberside Assessment, the regional IIP centre and 2inspire, the leading Yorkshire based Leadership Development consultancy.

First developed in 1991, the Investors in People Standard offers a number of key benefits, its main objective being to help organisations manage and get the very best out of their people. Organisations employing over a third of the UK workforce choose the Investors in People Standard as a tool to help improve their business performance and manage change. The Standard effectively links people strategy to business strategy and gives an organisation the key to improving performance.

Heading up 2inspire and bringing together the IiP methodology with his own unique approach to achieving success in your business and personal life is internationally-renowned motivational speaker Rob Northfield. Having previously headed up the UK’s most successful franchise of Dale Carnegie training, Rob has a long history of inspiring and motivating companies such as British Petroleum, Leeds United F.C., Royal Bank of Scotland, Target Express and The Bank of England. Having attended a previous 2inspire event, Stewart Regan, Chairman of Yorkshire County Cricket Club commented that it was “a very thought-provoking session” which “makes you want to leave and do something positive!”.

2inspire has teamed up with Investors in People to run a series of seminars and workshops aimed at supporting and developing Yorkshire business leaders to train and invest in their own people. The programme of seminars, led by Rob Northfield, commences on the 5th November which coincides with the start of Investors in People week. The events promise to bring together some of the highest calibre business leaders within Yorkshire, who are committed to training and people development.

The seminars are a must-attend event for those who want to positively impact on their company’s performance through world class standards and hard edge motivation. They are to be held on 5th November at The Holiday Inn Royal Victoria in Sheffield and on 9th November at Willerby Manor in Hull.
