Financial Review of the Year
Bulding an insitute fit for purpose
In response to our strategic aim of building an institute fit for purpose, our professional services teams have made progress in several key areas over the last year.
- We have introduced both a customer and contracts relationship management system that allows us to meet IDS’s evolving operational needs.
- We have started work, led by Human Resources and our Staff Council, on wellbeing in IDS, inspired by concepts from the New Economics Foundation, and further developed in a work context by Business in the Community.
- We have replaced small desk top printers with a number of large multi-functional devices spread about the building, cutting printing, electricity consumption and the IDS carbon footprint.
- We have developed ways of working with others on new initiatives, including delivering training on partnership working and fundraising.
- We have revised our Paternity Leave policy in response to changes in legislation.
