RAP Interiors Achieve Investors in People: Bronze Award

RAP Interiors, based on Maidstone, specialise in Office, School and Care Home Refurbishment & Fit Out with Design. They were recently awarded the Investors in People Bronze award for going above and beyond in the way they develop, support and motivate their staff. The Bronze award is achieved by just over 5% 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. Julie Anderson, Director at RAP Interiors which has 15 – 20 employees, said: “There is no doubt that we have an enviable reputation for our staff. This award proves to me that continuous investment in our people, developing them effectively and understanding their needs in their roles rewards us with an outstanding commitment from our staff. We demonstrate a culture of empowerment with open & continuous communication, but work hard to ensure we recognise and reward our fabulous staff.“ 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 Investors in People South, said: “RAP Interiors should be very proud of their achievement, particularly as they have gone beyond the core requirements of the Standard. I hope other organisations will look to them as an example of what can be done when staff and managers work together.” RAP Interiors has been recognised as an Investor in People since 2007 and have now achieved the Bronze Award. An organisation can achieve Bronze, Silver or Gold status by meeting additional evidence requirements from across the Investors in People framework.
