What a morning at the Northern Ireland Celebration Event - incredible organisations, honest conversations, and a room full of people who genuinely care about making work better.

Petra Velzeboer set the tone with a brilliant session on leadership, and our accredited panel of Martin O’Kane - Group Vice Chairman, Heron Bros. Ltd, Sinéad McNicholl - Group Director of People & Development, Inspire, Arlene McConaghie - Managing Director, Riada Resourcing, reminded us why the stories from within this community are some of the most powerful we get to hear.

To everyone who joined us today, the work you're doing matters more than you know. Thank you for being a part of our community.

Most organisations know their people are their biggest asset. But knowing it and being able to show it are two different things.
Our research found that 43% of organisations have no formal people management strategy in place. No structure for how they lead, develop or support their teams. Just good intentions and a lot of hard work.

The problem with that isn't effort, it's evidence. When you can't measure how your people are being managed, you can't improve it. And when you can't demonstrate it, it's harder to attract the right people, retain the ones you have, and make the case for investment internally.

We Invest in People gives organisations a framework to do all three.

85% of accredited organisations report a positive impact on employee engagement.
85% report improved quality of leadership.

It's not about adding another process. It's about understanding where you stand, getting an independent view of what's working, and having a clear path to make things better, for your people and your business.

If you're ready to turn good intentions into something you can build on, we'd love to talk https://bit.ly/3RlPSFf

We're at Crowne Plaza this morning, welcoming accredited organisations, reconnecting with familiar faces, and making some new ones too.
Ahead of us today, insights from leadership expert Petra Velzeboer and a panel of Investors in People accredited organisations sharing their stories. We can't wait!

We have some exciting news.
Jake Humphrey is joining the Make Work Better Conference 2026 as our headline speaker. Jake hosts The High Performance Podcast, one of the most listened-to leadership podcasts in the world, and has spent years in conversation with the world's most successful leaders, athletes and coaches, building a deep understanding of what high-performing cultures are actually made of.

His conclusion? Trust sits at the centre of all of them.

At a time when organisations are navigating change, uncertainty and real pressure on their people, that's exactly the conversation we want on stage. Jake will be delivering a keynote followed by a fireside chat and Q&A with IInvestors in People CEO, Katherine Chapman, hosted by Anna Richardson.

This morning at Forest of Arden Hotel & Country Club we had the pleasure of celebrating the organisations across Central England that have achieved Investors in People accreditation or joined our community over the past year, and the room was a reminder of just how much brilliant work is happening across UK workplaces right now.

Huge thanks to the incredible Petra Velzeboer for sharing her insights on workplace leadership, and to Andrea Rowe - BI Worldwide People Director, James Sanders, PSR Solutions CEO and Simon Hardiman - Collins Aerospace, General Manager (Marston Green) - our accredited panel for opening up and sharing their stories so generously.

To every organisation in that room today - thank you for investing in your people. You're proof that making work better is possible.

Today we're celebrating the organisations that have joined the Investors in People community over the past year and what a community it is.

We're at the beautiful Forest of Arden Hotel & Country Club this morning, welcoming accredited organisations from Central England and celebrating their committment to Making Work Better.

The day ahead includes insights from leadership expert Petra Velzeboer and a panel of Investors in People accredited organisations sharing their stories. We can't wait.

Some companies talk about their people. Rejuvo JPCS has been showing up for them since 1993.

35% of their team have been here over a decade. 94% say their values guide how they work every day.

That's not a coincidence. That's a culture.

Rejuvo earned its first Investors in People accreditation just three years after it began.
And in 2016, they made it official, adding 'Caring' as a formal mission value.

Honest. Human. Built on trust.

Something's coming that we think every people leader in the UK needs to read.

We've spent months researching trust at work - how it shows up, how it breaks down, and why so many organisations are getting it wrong without realising it.

The findings are uncomfortable. The implications for performance, retention and culture are significant.

The Trust Paradox. Our new whitepaper. Coming 8th June.

Last year the Make Work Better Conference SOLD OUT in advance. This year we’re bringing senior HR and People leaders together again at Kings Place, London to explore one of the most urgent challenges facing organisations today: Trust.

In a year defined by restructures, AI disruption, hybrid fatigue and rising employee expectations, many organisations are asking the same question:

Can organisations sustain trust under pressure?

Across the day, leading thinkers will explore how trust is built, lost and rebuilt in modern organisations – from leadership credibility and psychological safety to fairness, employee voice and transparency in decision-making.

On 8 September at Kings Place, London, senior HR and People leaders will come together to explore the behaviours, systems and leadership approaches that strengthen trust in modern organisations.

Tickets are now available:

If you lead people, this is for you.

Trust at work is more fragile than most organisations think, and the cost of getting it wrong shows up in ways that rarely make it onto a spreadsheet.

Our latest research digs into what's really happening in UK workplaces, why leaders often have a blind spot when it comes to trust, and what to do about it.

The Trust Paradox publishes on 8th June. Sign up now and you'll get it in your inbox before the official release date.
