AYR
Racecourse and the Western House Hotel have been awarded the
Investors In People standard.
The Racecourse employs 210 staff with a further 80 working at
Western House and William Gorol, General Manager of Ayr Racecourse
said he was "delighted and proud" both organisations had
been warded the prestigious standard.
IIP status is warded to organisations and businesses that have
consistently demonstrated good practice in their approach to people
management and development, as defined by the Investors in People
national standard and confirmed through independent assessment.
William Gorol added :"As employers we pride ourselves on our
commitment to staff training. It is important that we have staff
who know their business and provide the public with the best
possible service.
"Investors In People is a recognised standard throughout
industry and I am delighted and proud that both Ayr Racecourse and
Western House Hotel have achieved this standard."
Jim Reid, Operations Director, Scottish Enterprise Ayrshire, said:
"I am delighted that Ayr Racecourse and Western House Hotel
have been recognised for the Investors in People status.
"Tourism is an important industry in Ayrshire and
forward-thinking organisations like this will ensure that it
continues to develop and grow. It is a great credit to all of the
employees that this standard has been achieved and it demonstrates
a high degree of commitment from everyone involved .
"Successful organisations focus on the skills and learning of
their people and Ayrshire's labour supply is one of our
strengths. I would encourage other businesses and individuals to
take their lead from this success story and make workforce
development a priority."
