Bronze award for Arc Energy
Resources for going above and
beyond the call of duty
ARC Energy Resources, a provider of
weld overlay cladding and fabrication
services for the oil and gas, nuclear
and marine industries, was awarded
the Investors in People Bronze award
for going above and beyond in the way
it develops, supports and motivates its
staff.
The Bronze award is achieved by
just over 5 per cent of Investors in
People recognised organisations in the
UK, all of which have demonstrated
an additional 26 or more pieces of
evidence above the Investors in People
core Standard.
The Investors in People framework,
which is suitable for organisations of
any size and in any sector, transforms
business performance through people,
helping companies to achieve their
objectives by targeting specific priorities
within the organisation.
Rosemary Robinson, director of Arc
Energy Resources, which has some
seventy employees, said: “Having
received a glowing report from the
assessor at our 2010 review we were
given a strong recommendation to
work towards a Bronze Level Award in
readiness for our next review. We are
very proud that our company, which is
our people, has achieved the Bronze
level in a single review.”
Organisations that have achieved the
Investors in People Standard generally
have lower staff turnover and sickness
rates, lower recruitment costs and
a reduced likelihood of litigation. In
addition, they tend to have increased
levels of profitability, employee
engagement and productivity.
John Telfer, managing director of
Inspiring Business Performance Ltd
(IBP), the organisation that delivers
Investors in People for London
and the South, said: “Arc Energy
Resources should be very proud of
its achievement, particularly as the
company has gone beyond the core
requirements of the Standard. I hope
other organisations will look to Arc
Energy Resources as an example
of what can be done when staff and
managers work together.”
