The Isle of Man Government’s Cabinet Office has been awarded the international Gold Standard accreditation from the Investors in People (IIP) organisation for the way that it leads, supports and manages its staff.
The Cabinet Office was created in April 2014 to strengthen the co-ordination of key corporate functions within Government by bringing together the Chief Secretary’s Office, Office of Human Resources, Information Systems Division - now Government Technology Services - and Economic Affairs.
It provides support for the Chief Minister, the Council of Ministers, the Minister for Policy and Reform, and the Lieutenant-Governor. It is also responsible for the Island’s external relations and dealing with the implications of Brexit.
Chief Secretary Will Greenhow said: ‘The Cabinet Office plays a vital central role in the Isle of Man Government, managing its international relationships and leading key corporate initiatives in such areas as the Digital Strategy and human resources policy.
‘Our greatest asset is our employees. With 325 staff across a diverse range of functions it is important to ensure that we are making the most of their skills and dedication to provide the best possible service to the Isle of Man and its people.
‘The IIP accreditation provides independent, expert confirmation that the Cabinet Office is indeed effective in engaging the talents of its workforce, and to have achieved the Gold award during the Olympics was a nice bonus.’
