Delgat Data Entry:

Delgat Data decided to join the "Investor in People" programme as a tangible sign of the regard it has for its staff, many of whom have worked for the company for many years. This was followed by an extensive on-site visit by an "Investor in People" consultant

'Investor in People' represents a significant investment for any organisation, and the project was funded in part by Business Link, and supported by Yessica Herrara, Business Link's advisor to Delgat Data. Yessica helped the company with the application and gave advice during the process.

As most of Delgat Data's staff work from home, the company instituted regular quarterly newsletters, including news about members of staff, new clients, and tips on data entry procedures and best practice.

In addition, the company conducted face-to-face appraisals and workstation assessments for all members of staff, in-house as well as home workers. This was followed by an extensive on-site visit by an "Investor in People" consultant. The consultant performed a complete audit of all Delgat Data's business and data capture systems, and checked the appraisals and assessment procedures.
