In 2018 we started the journey to focus on our biggest asset, our people, resulting in us obtaining Silver status. 3 years on we have some amazing news that we are so proud of. Starting off 2022 as we mean to go on, we are delighted to announce that Arc have successfully achieved the prestigious Investors in People (IIP) Gold Accreditation (yes that’s right – GOLD!)  

This award is a true recognition of our absolute commitment to our people and teams, and we are super keen to share this fantastic news with you!

Over 50,000 organisations have been assessed by IIP in over 66 countries with only 16% achieving gold. A Gold accreditation says that Arc’s people and leadership team take full ownership of the practices we have in place to support our people. We are actively trying to make work even better for everyone. Given the challenging times we are all facing this is a huge achievement and an indicator of how strong our culture and values are throughout our business strategy, ethos and our colleagues.

We are nothing without our brilliant Arc team. They ensure that we live up to our company vision of shaping the world of flexible work into a better place for all. This accreditation recognises our understanding that our colleagues are our most valuable asset and acknowledges our commitment to investing in supporting and developing the people and teams within the organisation who make a difference for our clients and candidates every day. 

I am proud to say that we genuinely care about our staff, we put time and effort into every individual and always make sure we have the necessary support and training in place to help them achieve both their personal and professional goals. IIP Gold wouldn’t have been possible without our clients and candidates who continue to trust and rely on our service, professionalism, and attentive approach and we owe a huge thank you to every person who has worked with Arc over the years. This wouldn’t have been possible without you.

So, what does it really mean?

Clients – If you are one of our current clients or considering using Arc’s services it simply means you will be connecting with people who are incredibly engaged, professional and will be a joy to work with.  We will always have your interests at heart and will always ensure to solve your staffing problems by supplying the most suitable, satisfied and well looked after people – every minute of every day, wherever they are needed.

Candidates – If you are thinking of joining the Arc team you can have the confidence that you will be joining a company that people love working for in a culture that is collaborative where everyone works together to get the job done. A company where you can express your ideas, develop your skills and forge your own career path.

I know how amazing it is to work for Arc, so for the business to achieve IIP Gold is beyond incredible and now everyone can see how great it is! Our main focus has always been our Values, Vision and Culture with the team at the forefront of all things Arc. We look forward to building on this, to move our people strategy forward starting with an IIP focus group session with the team.

Our journey is far from over and we look forward to building upon this amazing success and will look to continuously improve and ensure Arc is a place people continue to want to work as we stride to reach Platinum level in the coming years.
