CATEGORY SPONSORS

Sponsor of Organisational Learning

Bolt from the You works with blue-chip organisations to implement development programmes that nurture talent, encourage employees to be brave, put aside frustrations that limit them, and be the best they can be. Their bespoke development solutions enable individuals, teams and organisations to achieve personal and organisational growth, help organisations facing change, tackle team dynamics, and steer the development of a coaching culture.

Bolt's development programmes are tailored to fit the organisation or individual, rather than adopting a 'one size fits all' approach. Their innovative solutions are designed to encourage cultural change by challenging mindsets and behaviours; enabling learning, rather than teaching a 'set piece' of skills.

Sponsor of Michael Kelly Outstanding Student Awards

CIPD Flexible Learning+ is proud to sponsor the Michael Kelly Outstanding Student Awards.

CIPD Flexible Learning+ offers a flexible and practical route to the main CIPD qualifications, and combines the strengths of two leading names in HR, CIPD Enterprises, the specialist learning arm of the CIPD, and MOL, an established market leader who has successfully delivered CIPD study programmes for over 20 years.

We have a commitment to encouraging great student achievement which is exemplified by MOL’s exam results which are consistently 10-15% higher than the average and in the past ten years, thirteen MOL learners have achieved CIPD Awards for Outstanding Performance.

The unique design of our programmes is such that it enables our students to fit their study around their day to day work life. But more than that, we ensure that our programmes are especially relevant to what our students are working on at the time. Our facilitators are all experts who, when they’re not working with us, are on assignments with a wide range of organisations. The currency of their experience and expertise brings key ideas and theories to life, enriching the learning experience of our students, and helping them to apply immediately what they learn in their day-to-day role. This is further re-inforced by the convenience of a centre close to you (we have centres nationwide) and the multiple start dates to choose from.

So our students are able to bring considerable benefits to their organisations, through the practical nature of what they learn from the programme, and importantly, through the time that this unqiue method of study enables them to continue to dedicate to their organisations.

CIPD Flexible Learning+ is committed to delivering programmes to improve HR performance at every level and offers qualifications to suit the needs of both individuals and organisations.

Sponsor of Health and well-being

Simplyhealth offer a range of health plans which can help you to reward your employees, address sickness absence, improve your recruitment package and retain your talented workforce.

At Simplyhealth we’ve been helping people access affordable healthcare for 140 years. We only focus on healthcare, so you can rely on us for specialist knowledge. We help nearly four million people with their health and 11,000 companies choose us as their healthcare providers including the Astra-Zeneca, British Airways, The Co-operative, John Lewis Partnership, Royal Mail and Tesco. We’re committed to delivering exceptional personal customer service, and go out of our way to do the right thing, not the easy thing. All of our customer care advisors are based in the UK and we always try to avoid automated telephone systems. We’ve won many awards for our health plans and customer service. Most recently we were named Best Health Insurance Provider at the Consumer Moneyfacts Awards 2011. We follow mutual values and care about our communities. Last year we donated over £1 million to local causes and national charities.

Our vision is to inspire people towards better health. Here’s how we show our clients that we can be bothered.

Partnership philosophy
We specialise in healthcare, which gives us a unique perspective so we can work with you to offer a solution that’s tailored to your needs and budget. We won’t push one particular plan but instead take the time to understand what’s right for your business so you can make an informed choice.

Better health
Inspiring people towards better health is at the heart of our business. We can offer support with issues in the workplace such as stress, back pain and absence management. We’ll even come in to explain how our plans work to your employees, so they can make the most of them.

Personal service
The Institute of Customer Service recognises that our customer services team is world class, and we have achieved its sought after ServiceMark accreditation. We try to avoid automated telephone systems, so when your employees call during opening hours they’ll speak to a person in one of our UK call centers.
