Armstrong Watson is proud to announce that it has been awarded the esteemed Gold status in the 2023 Investors in People Award. This recognition highlights the company's unwavering commitment to investing in its people and its dedication to their professional development and wellbeing.
The Investors in People Award is a nationally recognised accreditation that assesses an organisation's commitment to its employees and their continuous improvement and sees them achieve one of four levels: Standard, Silver, Gold and Platinum.
Through a comprehensive evaluation process, which included interviews with employees, Armstrong Watson was able to demonstrate excellence in areas such as leadership, people management, performance evaluation, learning and development and employee wellbeing initiatives.
Achieving Gold status signifies that Armstrong Watson has not only met the rigorous standards set by Investors in People but has also demonstrated outstanding best practices and a genuine commitment to its workforce. However, the firm is not resting on its laurels and recognises that investing in its people is a continuous process.
Paul Dickson, Armstrong Watson’s CEO and Managing Partner said: "We are absolutely thrilled to have achieved the Gold status in the 2023 Investors in People Award. This recognition is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team. We strongly believe that our success as a firm is deeply rooted in the talent, expertise and wellbeing of our colleagues."
Armstrong Watson understands that its people are the backbone of its success, and as such, it places great emphasis on fostering a positive and inclusive work environment. The firm, which had previously achieved the Investors in People Silver Award, actively invests in the professional development of its team members, offering them opportunities to expand their skills, knowledge and expertise. This approach not only enhances employee satisfaction but also ensures that Armstrong Watson consistently delivers the highest standard of service to its clients.
As a Gold-status recipient, Armstrong Watson joins an elite group of organisations that have demonstrated exceptional people management practices and have made significant contributions to the professional landscape. This achievement further solidifies its reputation as a trusted and respected partner for businesses seeking expert accounting, business and financial advisory services.
