Bryson Charitable Group, formerly Bryson House, is celebrating as its entire group of companies achieves Investors in People accreditation.
Investing in People for 100 years: IiP praise for Bryson Charitable Group
The Bryson Charitable Group, with more than 500 employees, has achieved Investors in People success in a recent series of IIP assessments.
“This is a tremendous achievement and a credit to staff and volunteers,” said John Steele, Chairman of the charity.
Investors in People is the national standard which sets a level of good practice for training and development of people to achieve business improvement. Alan Shannon, Permanent Secretary of the Department for Social Development, presented the Group’s staff with IiP certificates
The Bryson Charitable Group began its business excellence journey using the IiP improvement framework in 1997 when its employment training company, North City Training, became one of the first 100 companies in Northern Ireland to achieve Investors in People and in 2000 the charity Bryson House was one of only a handful of Northern Ireland charities to earn this prestigious award. Both companies have been successfully ‘reviewed’ a number of times since and the recent Group assessment saw the other four Group companies, Partnership Care West, Lagan Watersports, Bryson House Recycling and Multicultural Resource Centre successfully ‘Recognised’ as an Investors in People organisation for the first time.
This year the Bryson Charitable Group – formerly Bryson House – celebrates its centenary. Founded in 1906 to address poverty in Belfast, it has evolved into an organisation with an ambitious agenda for social change. The Group's primary aim of changing peoples' lives for the better is manifest in its more than thirty diverse projects. Every year it helps around 400,000 people in some of Northern Ireland's most socially deprived areas by providing social care, helping families in crisis, providing training for employment, creating new jobs and improving local environments.
