Following extensive consultation with its customers, Investors in People UK have developed a new and more flexible way of working. As a result, "Investors in People New Choices" will provide more in-depth, tailored support on the issues most relevant to the organisation.
The new approach can be tailored to an organisation's unique needs and priorities, and means that IIP can now be focused directly on chosen business issues.
WMQC was selected by Investors in People UK to run an extensive pilot for the new working practice in the summer of 2008. We found that 89% of organisations felt the approach enabled them to be flexible around the needs of their organisation.
The New Choices way is set to be launched in May 2009.

CIPD's Gerwyn Davies expects a similar change in Britain, but also warns that whilst the trough may been reached, further jobs cuts are still inevitable before the employment market improves as a whole.
