Investors in People have recognised leading housewares provider, Scott Brothers as employers that excel in valuing and rewarding staff.

The aim of Investors in People is to ensure people in the business understand their role and purpose within the company, but more importantly, also feel valued within the organisation.

Scott Brothers MD Duncan Pratt-Thompson said:

“We’re pleased our hard work in making sure our staff are looked after has been recognised and we’ve passed our Investors in People assessment. This is great news and it has really shown a positive team spirit running through the business.

“One of the initiatives that we now have in place is recognising fellow teammates who have gone above and beyond during each quarter. The winner is decided by the team in a democratic process and not decided by management.”

To gain the recognition, Scott Brothers were initially assessed by the Investors in People organisation and were given a number of recommendations on how to improve their current processes.

These changes were then implemented over the course of six months, the changes put in place over that time include having an appraisal process in place across the workforce and setting up a rewards and recognition policy.

Duncan added:

“The whole process with Investors in People has been beneficial for the entire business and all our staff, we also had feedback from the assessor stating he sensed a real positive team spirit within the organisation, which we were so thrilled to hear.”

The news of passing their Investors in People assessment came shortly after Scott Brothers achieved its ISO9001 certification and they are now looking to see what they can achieve next.
