On Wednesday 31st January, ISS was delighted to accept the award of Best People Development at the Facilities Management Awards held in the Ballsbridge Hotel, Dublin.

Within our submission, ISS highlighted such programmes as Service with a Human Touch, First Line Manager Programme and the Key Account Manager Certification. In doing so, ISS demonstrated how our Learning and Development strategy focuses on all employees from those at the frontline to those in senior management with the aim of empowering employees and working to translate the company’s vision into action. ISS is going to be the world’s greatest service organisation and how this will happen is through facilitating our customer’s purpose through people empowerment.

The P&C team, through Kate Connellan, People and Culture Manager, works hard in organising and delivering this suite of development programmes. Getting this external accreditation drives home the hard work that happens and the commitment the company gives to delivering and participating in such programmes. It is great to have this recognised within the industry. We place our people at the fore of what we do and this is just one step in recognising this."
