Investors in People introduced the extended framework, which gave companies who’d already achieved the basic standard, something more challenging to aim for and to recognise those who are performing at an exceptionally high level. In order to reach Gold status, the college was required to meet a 165 of 196 standards in addition to the 39 outlined by the standard itself – a process that required interviewing employees and experiencing elements of college practice.   “This process has enabled us to bench mark our own practices against a nationally recognised standard,” says Ian Sackree, Vice Principal of Corporate Resources.   “Gaining the accreditation is a tremendous achievement and confirms that our employees are a fantastic asset to the college - their skills and commitment are key to the delivery of the college’s quality services. We are fully committed to keeping up this standard of practice and will continue to invest in our people to ensure that Lincoln College remains an organisation that performs well for both its employees and its customers.”
