How to apply the Investors in People standardThis book explains the principles of personnel development in a certain organisation. It describes how people thought and acted before and how after many years of development work they think and act now.The book follows the structure of the Investors in People (IIP) standard. It is divided into ten different areas and forty assessment criteria.The content of the book is derived from interviews with different personnel groups in the organisation: leaders, managers, personnel and personnel representatives."It is ideal for units that want to start up development on the basis of the IIP model or who want to develop their activities by means of self-assessment. The book is also excellent as training material. I myself will use it as teaching material." Merja Rusanen, Local Authority Employers in Finland.
