The IIP assessment was conducted over the summer and included a staff survey and interviews with of employees from across the company, in small focus groups.

  • 80% believe they are encouraged to take the initiative in their role
  • the variety of learning and development programmes available, including the internal mentoring programme, which encourage cross-team collaboration

Tracy Blackwell, Chief Executive, PIC said: “I want to say thank you to everyone at PIC who has helped us achieve this recognition. It is an excellent example of the value we place on ‘being a team’ and the contribution everyone makes to ensure PIC is ‘a great place to work’. What is especially pleasing is that it was highlighted for the specific assessment of ‘living the organisation’s values and behaviours,’ we had already attained the Gold level.

“We’ll now use the IIP’s assessment to define our priorities for 2023 and beyond, and make a plan to attain the Gold standard at the next assessment.”
