Investors in People
In 2024, we were pleased to sustain our Investors in People accreditation after being awarded the Gold standard back in 2022.
Reflecting on a year that’s involved significant organisational change for Scouts, this year’s interim report highlighted excellent engagement levels. We’re pleased that the majority of our employees believe Scouts is a great place to work and our organisation has a positive impact on society. The report also highlighted the positive impact our line managers are having through performance management and one-to-one support.
Our scores overall, however, showed a decrease from last year’s interim survey. They highlighted the need for us to invest time and energy in building trust and communicating our exciting vision for the future, as well as effectively communicating and managing ongoing change.
During 2025, we’ll undertake our next full Investors in People assessment, where Scouts’ existing Gold status will be reviewed.
