Investors in People has recognised progress within subsea engineering firm Jee Ltd by awarding the independent company gold status.
“ This is brilliant news and a true endorsement of a lot of changes which have been implemented over the last 3 years to improve the business by developing and investing in our biggest asset – our staff,” said Trevor Jee, Managing Director.
“I am extremely pleased with this result as it confirms my belief – that Jee has world-class engineers who deliver exceptional results for our global clients, everyday.”
The assessor John Baker was impressed with the ‘many examples of excellent learning and development opportunities’ that Jee provides. He made particular reference to high aspirations of the company and the way in which it continually challenges its performance.
John said ‘ there is great energy throughout the organisation and people at all levels are innovative as well as being keen to perform well ’. Other significant developments recognised were the reward and benefits package, which the assessor agreed is more motivating for staff, irrespective of their role.
John added: ‘ People clearly view Jee as an excellent place to work, they are proud of what they achieve and committed to its success; people exhibit exceptional loyalty. Overall, it is a workforce of talented people who are passionate about the work they do.’
