ARC Energy Resources, a provider of weld overlay cladding and fabrication services for the oil and gas, nuclear and marine industries, was awarded the Investors in People Bronze award for going above and beyond in the way it develops, supports and motivates its staff. The Bronze award is achieved by just over 5 per cent 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. Rosemary Robinson, director of Arc Energy Resources, which has some seventy employees, said: “Having received a glowing report from the assessor at our 2010 review we were given a strong recommendation to work towards a Bronze Level Award in readiness for our next review. We are very proud that our company, which is our people, has achieved the Bronze level in a single review.” 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 Inspiring Business Performance Ltd (IBP), the organisation that delivers Investors in People for London and the South, said: “Arc Energy Resources should be very proud of its achievement, particularly as the company has gone beyond the core requirements of the Standard. I hope other organisations will look to Arc Energy Resources as an example of what can be done when staff and managers work together.”
