Champions - Find out More


Has your organisation got what it takes to become a Champion? Would you like to join our inspirational network to share best practice with other Champion organisations and inspire others to achieve Investors in People?

Champions are Investors in People UK´s role model organisations. They champion the Standard and Profile and promote the programme through a series of best practice sharing activities.

Champions come from many different sectors including Education, Finance, Leisure, Health, Construction, Technology, Accountancy, Directory Services and Manufacturing. They also range in size from 9 to thousands of staff, giving us a resource relevant to any organisation interested in Investors in People.

The breadth of experience and diversity within our group of Champions gives us immense insight into the many ways of approaching challenges in a truly practical and tested way.

What is expected of a Champion Organisation?

  • Deliver four best practice activities a year (presentations, mentoring or hosting a site visit) on areas of expertise to recognised and non-recognised organisations
  • Encourage suppliers, where appropriate, to work with the Standard and Profile
  • Promote Investors in People and the Best Practice Sharing programme via their company website or newsletters
  • Contribute to the development of the Investors in People Standard, Profile and associated models
  • Contribute to the drafting of a Champion case study
  • Assist Investors in People UK in the evaluation of the Best Practice Sharing programme
  • Actively participate in Champion networking through organised Development Days and via the dedicated Champion area of the Champion website

Champion status is held for three years. Upon completion, an organisation can re-apply to the programme.
