Lichfield-based travel management company Access Bookings has achieved the prestigious Investors in People (IIP) \u2018We invest in people\u2019 <\/em>Gold accreditation for the second time, putting the firm in the top 28 per cent to achieve this globally recognised benchmark for people management.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Investors in People \u2018Gold\u2019 standard highlights organisations that demonstrate a proven commitment to delivering a positive and nurturing work environment for their people.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To secure the accreditation, businesses undergo a rigorous assessment of their practices, policies, leadership and strategy, all conducted by IIP\u2019s independent assessors combined with feedback from employees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Access, which has achieved silver and gold in previous years, has secured this latest accreditation for three years, reinforcing its commitment to creating a supportive environment where its 174 strong team can grow and thrive.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The firm, which specialises in worldwide travel management and bookings for the entertainment industry, is dedicated to delivering exceptional expertise and puts both its clients and people at the heart of everything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daniel Aston-Bell, HR Business Partner, at Access Bookings, said, \u201cOur people are our greatest asset, and we constantly strive to create a workplace that is nurturing and dynamic at every level. Our team is supported to achieve both career development and work-life balance, and this, alongside an inclusive, collaborative environment, is what makes Access such a great place to work.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rhia Oliver, EDI and Wellbeing Lead at Access Bookings, added, \u201cContinuing to invest in our people is a key growth strategy for us, and scooping gold again means that every single person who took part in the process provided vital feedback on their experience of working at the company and how best to make work better.<\/em><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cOur IIP journey allows for continual feedback and recommendations so that we can make meaningful changes in the business. Knowing that we already have a fantastic platform and a highly engaged workforce gives strong foundations to build upon.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Gordon Stopani, IIP Practitioner, said, \u201cOn behalf of Investors in People, I\u2019d like to congratulate Access Bookings on achieving Gold accreditation in the \u2018We Invest in People\u2019 Standard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThis is a fantastic recognition for any organisation, and places Access in fine company with those organisations which understand the true value and benefits of deploying high quality people practices within the day-to-day working culture .\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
