Destiny Wireless: Destiny gains accreditation for Investors in People
(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
RDATE:05092008
Destiny Wireless plc, the UK leader in mobile communications for the
business market, has achieved the prestigious Investors in People (IIP)
standard. This important recognition builds on the ISO 9001
certification which Destiny first gained in 2006.
Destiny's solutions, based on Anoto digital pen and paper technology,
can achieve dramatic savings in time and money for clients, and can
transform the productivity of their mobile workforces. Meeting
performance targets which relate to clients' expectations is therefore
at the heart of Destiny's operation, and relies heavily on the skills
and organisation of its people.
The programme required to plan and implement new processes to achieve
the IIP standard took 15 months, and involved every department and all
40 people in the business.
Elaine Smart, who managed this programme, said: 1Our communications are
even better than before, and our people can now clearly see how they're
all working towards the same goals. Every department has five or six
key performance indicators which they report on every week to our
business review meeting, and which are seen by everyone in the company.
Our KPI cascade process now links everything together in an open and
transparent way including our appraisal system.
Edward Belgeonne, CEO and founder of Destiny, added: 1This has been a
very helpful process in building further on capabilities we already had
in place. It's enabling us to ensure we're communicating effectively at
all levels, and developing the business though the efficient management
of clear KPIs that everyone understands.
