Investment in People
  
Investment in our people has always been a core objective of Severn Partnership and is seen as the key foundation stone to the long term sustainability of the business. The Directors have total commitment to investment at all levels; promote a culture of continuing professional development and routinely review and plan training activities at all levels.

The Severn Partnership is an Investor in People Company (IIP) and has been since 2000. This is a national standard against which we are regularly benchmarked. We have also undergone the “Profiling Standard” developed by Investors in People, demonstrating our continued commitment to the standard and more significantly, showing us how we can improve into the future.

Recently in October 2009 Severn Partnership was confirmed as an Investor in People, following the in-depth assessment against the Core National Standard.

The Audit Report October 2009 listed the following strengths and good practice:-
  • Open and listening approach to management.
     
  • The Business Plan has clear aims supported by KPI’s.
     
  • Clear encouragement for personal and professional development at all levels.
     
  • Values Statement clearly defines the Company ethos and culture.
     
  • Strong sense of teamwork across the business.
     
  • People at Severn Partnership feel valued and appreciated.
     
  • Exercise a good deal of social responsibility in organising events to raise money for charity.
Our unique selling proposition will always be our people, who after our customers are our greatest priority.
