Developing Your Business Through Investors in People

Drawing on experienced acquired working on Investors in People with more than 50 organizations, the author describes the business benefits of developing employees through systematic communication, involvement and training. He examines the IIP national standard in detail and suggests numerous ways of meeting it, showing how to align training and development with business objectives, how to assess individual development needs and what should be the role of managers in the process. For this new edition the text has been enlarged and improved to reflect the revisions to the national standard introduced in 1997. For managers in every kind of business, for HRD specialists and for consultants, Norrie Gilliland's book will continue to be the best available source of reference and guidance in its field.
