A Gold Standard ‘Investors in People’ achievement has been presented to Gibraltar Financial Services Commission following the meeting of 175 evidence requirements for the accreditation.

The FSC first obtained IiP accreditation six years ago and at its previous review, three years ago, was accredited with Silver having met 97 additional indicators of the Standard.  This time round the FSC applied for, and has been granted the Gold standard.  This makes the FSC one of around 20 organisations outside of the UK to have achieved this standard and amongst the top 3% worldwide. The FSC is the second organisation in Gibraltar to have attained the Gold standard.

Speaking on the achievement, Deputy Chief Executive of the FSC, David Parody noted that the accreditation validates the Commission’s commitment to the development and growth of their staff to the highest standard. He added, ‘ [this] permits us to deliver an effective and efficient system of regulation and supervision to an extremely high standard.  Investing in the people that make up the FSC is a fundamental principle in how the organisation is run.  Over the last six years we have been developing and improving our Human Resources capability and processes enabling us to aim even higher in our IiP status.’
