Investors in People / Excellence Through People
The Excellence through People (ETP) scheme is operated in Ireland by the NSAI. Success as a business owner or manager largely depends on the ability to improve business performance through people. ETP provides a business improvement model for organisations to enhance performance and realise strategies, through the management and development of their people.
The focus of ETP is to get organisations to look at their people as a key source of competitive advantage. The scheme is available to all organisations – regardless of size.
The model helps you achieve business improvement by:
- Putting the right human resource systems in place to maximise employee contribution
- Aligning people practises with the goals of your organisation
- Maximising the investment in human resource management
The scheme is used by many of Ireland’s most successful organisations in becoming more efficient, productive, flexible, competitive and innovative.
The model is composed of six elements which are assessed and scored as follows:
- Business Planning & Continuous Improvement – 170 Points
- Effective Communication & People Engagement – 170 Points
- Leadership & People Management – 170 Points
- Planning of Learning & Development – 190 Points
- Evaluation Of Learning & Development – 140 Points

The Investors in People Standard (UK) provides a framework that helps organisations to improve performance and realise objectives through the effective management and development of their people
Everyone agrees that people are an organisation’s greatest asset, and we all know that for an organisation to succeed everyone has to perform well. To achieve this, people need the right knowledge, skills and motivation to work efficiently.
No matter what the size or type of your organisation, the Investors in People Standard is there to help you improve the way you work. You have to meet the same criteria – or ‘indicators’ – as other organisations, but the Standard recognises that you will meet them in your own way. Investors in People recognises that organisations use different means to achieve success through their people. The Standard does not prescribe any one method, but it provides a framework to help you find the most suitable means for achieving success through your people. The Investors in People Standard is a business improvement tool designed to advance an organization’s performance through its people.
The Investors in People Standard is based on three key principles:
- Plan – Developing strategies to improve the performance of the organisation
- Do – Taking action to improve the performance of the organisation
- Review – Evaluating the impact on the performance of the organisation.
Principle 1 – Developing strategies to improve the performance of the organisation Indicators

Strategies for managing people are designed to promote equality of opportunity in the development of the organisation’s people.
The capabilities managers need to lead, manage and develop people effectively are clearly defined and understood.
Principle 2 – Taking action to improve the performance of the organisation

People are encouraged to take ownership and responsibility by being involved in decision- making.
