Leonardo holds Gold level accreditations by Investors in People
Leonardo UK has achieved Gold level accreditation for Investors in People's (IIP) 'We Invest in People', 'Investors in Young People' (IIYP) and 'We Invest in Wellbeing'. These reflect the company’s commitment to supporting the development of its employees through opportunities offered by technology, succession planning and flexible working, and tackling challenges such as ineffectual decision-making, absenteeism and employee disengagement.
IIP recognises employer brands that are committed to looking after their people, engaging them and building trust; and it is the only international standard that aligns ambition and people.
IIYP supports and recognises organisations that recruit, retain and develop young people, providing a framework for those organisations wishing to improve their management of young people.
Leonardo became the first defence business to receive IiYP accreditation in 2015.
Leonardo was one of the first companies to secure the 'We Invest in Wellbeing' gold award. This is in line with IIP's wellbeing framework and included an external assessment involving confidential interviews with Leonardo employees of varying positions across UK business, which focused on physical, social and mental wellbeing.
“We’re delighted to have been awarded our gold level accreditation. This recognises that we are on the right path and have made positive progress in all areas – including practices on resourcing, development, reward and retention. By far the biggest contributor to our result is the approach demonstrated to people leadership and management by our people leaders," says Leonardo UK People Director, Wendy Allen.
“This confirms that Leonardo’s drive for change is gaining momentum, and we will continue to focus on improving our people leadership and engagement practices throughout the company.”
In addition to its Gold accreditations, Leonardo UK won the Best Flexible Working Policy Award at the Investors in People Awards 2023.
