We are proud to announce Wandle has been awarded ‘We invest in people’ Silver Accreditation from Investors in People.
Investors in People developed the accreditation over 30 years ago to assess how well organisations support, develop and lead their employees. It provides a standard for organisations to evaluate themselves against the best in the business to help create better and more productive workplaces.
Our silver accreditation means we have the right principles in place, while continuing to take the next steps to ensure there is consistency for all our people and leaders.
