ARM wins national recognition for training investment into its staff
We are delighted to announce that ARM is celebrating
winning the first ever Institute of Recruitment Professionals Award
for People Development.
At a recent, lavish industry ceremony in central London,
broadcaster and former MP Gyles Brandreth presented 15 awards – the
only accolades to be presented by the recruitment industry’s trade
body the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (the REC).
Kevin Green, the REC’s Chief Executive, said,
“This evening is just the start of a journey which
could take between 10 and 15 years in realising our goal of
professionalising the industry and attaining Chartered status.
He added:
“The awards ceremony was the perfect way to show
just how far we have already come in attracting people with the
highest professional standards, dedication and commitment to the
recruitment industry”.
Advanced Resource Managers’ award-winning people development
programme is the brainchild of Derek Goff (ARM Learning and
Development Manager), Samantha Templer (ARM HR Manager) and Mike
Gawthorne (ARM MD). They recognised that investing in staff
development was the smart view to take in the face of stiff market
competition, tough conditions and the need for a talented future
resource pool within the company.
Derek Goff said,
“To win such a prestigious award is a great honour
personally, and a well deserved accolade to all staff at ARM who
embrace training vigorously in pursuit of providing an excellent
service to our clients and candidates. A special mention should
also go to the Directors and senior managers at ARM who completely
endorse and support L&D initiatives across the business.”
