Investors in People is a proven business improvement framework that can significantly improve financial performance, profitability, productivity and increase employee involvement and focus.

The benefits of being focused on people are increased staff retention, motivation, productivity and ease of cultural change within your organisation.

In support of their own internal HR administration and communication processes, IIP Scotland has adopted Youmanage, the ‘Online HR Toolkit’. Improving productivity and eliminating inefficiencies internally are seen as key drivers for IIP Scotland. Automating routine, manual activities and equipping line managers to be more self-sufficient are seen as two important factors when evaluating the capabilities of various HR software programs.

Nick Pye, MD of Youmanage commented, "we're absolutely thrilled to be working with IIP Scotland. Their decision to adopt our own technology platform speaks volumes for the way in which the Youmanage system is so closely aligned to promoting HR best practice throughout any organisation."

Youmanage is a comprehensive online toolkit giving people managers and HR departments all of the processes, employee information and guidance they need in a single system.

Devised to improve the efficiency and performance of managers and HR professionals, the Youmanage system incorporates a suite of modules which cover every aspect of people management. All modules are underpinned by a single employee database, enabling clients to take a more joined-up and integrated approach to managing their employees.

A unique aspect of the service is the way it walks managers through step-by-step processes for common management tasks - from preparing for an interview, to handling a disciplinary situation in a way that complies with the law, to dealing with high absenteeism levels.

Managers are also presented with relevant guidance and information at each step of the way. The system incorporates training materials, a complete range of standard HR letters and forms, guidance notes, and other useful tools. It can be tailored to reflect the branding, policies and processes of each client.

The package is delivered online and allows managers and HR professionals to access comprehensive information about each of their employees from anywhere.
