“Investors in People” is a national quality standard that sets a level of good practice for improving an organisation’s performance through its people. It is awarded to organisations that show a strong commitment to supporting the development of their staff, through extensive communication, involvement and training and development.

The focus is on continuous improvement and organisations are regularly assessed to make sure that they continue to meet the standard.

Ashford Borough Council first achieved this award in July 2000 and has successfully retained recognition since then.
