We’re excited to share the moment Alba Facilities Services Ltd took to the stage to receive The Award for Health and Wellbeing (up to 499 employees) at The Investors in People Awards 2025, alongside their thoughts on what this achievement truly means to them.

Health and wellbeing is one of the most important responsibilities any organisation has. It shapes culture, performance, trust, and the everyday experience of every person who walks through the door.

Alba Facilities Services aren’t just supporting their people, they’re building an environment where wellbeing is understood, prioritised and embedded into how they work. From implementing a 4-day working week (while retaining the5 day pay), to embracing a transformation into a “people-conscious, wellbeing-driven” business, Alba has made authentic investments in their team.

Their decision to enter the Awards wasn’t just about recognition, it was a milestone on their journey to become a leader in wellbeing within the facilities services sector. This Award recognises their commitment, their care, and the way they put people first in everything they do.

Our IIP community says: Effective wellbeing culture lives in how decisions are made, how people are treated, and what’s rewarded and not just in ping pong tables or pizza Fridays.

Back by overwhelming demand! At our Make Work Better Conference in September, Kimberley Wilson’s session was the highest-rated of the entire day.
And we’re bringing her back.

At Supportive Leadership: People Before Process, Kimberley will deliver Keep Your Head - a powerful, practical session on the science of mental clarity and resilience.

In today’s fast-changing world, mental performance isn’t a “nice to have” for leaders, it’s a competitive advantage.

In her session you'll learn how to:
• Boost focus, memory & decision-making
• Reduce stress and mental fatigue
• Protect your brain against burnout & long-term decline
• Understand which foods fuel high performance (and which quietly sabotage it)
• Build micro-habits that improve clarity, resilience & leadership presence

This isn’t theory. It’s actionable, science-backed, and designed to help leaders protect their greatest asset: their mind.

Leadership isn’t a title - it’s a journey.
Many managers step up because they’re good at their jobs. But what got them here won’t get them there.

What HR leaders think people worry about…
vs.
What people actually worry about.

The gap is wider than you might expect.

Our new research shows HR leaders often overestimate fears like job loss and underestimate real human needs like clarity, communication and support.
When it comes to managing change, perception matters and this disconnect could be holding organisations back.

As November comes to a close, we’re still buzzing from one unforgettable night.
The Investors in People Awards 2025 brought together 750+ incredible people, organisations and partners who prove every single day, that when you invest in people, everything gets better.

From the moment the first guests arrived, to Paul’s inspiring opening, to the cheers, the connections, the stories shared and the legacies celebrated…the night was more than an awards ceremony.
It was a reminder of what this community stands for: opportunity, belief, and raising the standard of work for everyone.

And now, we get to relive it. 🎥

Our Awards Highlights captures the energy, the emotion, the Parisian sparkle and the moments that defined the night. A celebration of you, the organisations changing work for the better. Here’s to the stories we told, the connections we made, and the standard we’ll continue to raise - together.
