Kibble celebrated its Silver Anniversary as an accredited member of Investors in People and being internationally recognised for people management and employee wellbeing.
For over 170 years, Kibble has existed to give young people a chance at life, withstanding the test of time by placing young people at the centre of all business decisions. Achievement of delivering the right support, at the right time to as many young people as possible has required a dedicated staff team, a fact that Kibble is very much aware of.
Kibble understands the workforce is the most valuable resource and strives to support each employee professionally and personally. The actions we take to empower the large staff team are recognised by Investors in People (IIP), a renowned accreditation and global benchmark awarded to organisations for demonstrating strong strategic leadership and a commitment to development their people. The IIP status reflects our focus on creating a workplace culture where people want to be, building talent pipelines and nurturing expertise, ensuring Kibble continues to evolve.
The long-standing relationship between Kibble and IIP marks an ongoing effort to invest in the workforce. The tangible ways we uphold our values of Ambition, Respect and Belonging have involved: increased recruitment, a rewarding staff benefits package, research opportunities and new partnerships. Our own model of trauma-informed care includes the component ‘Skilled and Supported Workforce’, which equips us to launch essential services and receive sector-leading results from regulatory bodies including Care Inspectorate and Education Scotland.
The framework of IIP evaluates the three key areas of: leading, supporting and improving. Kibble proudly holds Gold status while operating at the higher Platinum Level for several categories, a standard met by only 2% of the companies assessed. Kibble is leading by example in delivering continuous improvement, creating sustainable success, structuring work and living the organisation’s values and behaviours.
