A priority of all organisations working with the Investors in People Standard is to ensure that their employees are kept in touch with what is going on. Importantly as an employee of an organisation working with the Standard, you should understand your organisation's aims and objectives and the role you will play in helping it get there. It is also vital that you understand how your work contributes to the success of the organisation as a whole.   It is easier for you if you know exactly what is expected of you, so you and your manager will go through what you need to achieve and how you go about it.   In working with the Investors in People Standard, your organisation will have to demonstrate that it meets all of the indicators of the Standard. The way that an organisation achieves each indicator can vary so there is no precise way of explaining exactly what practices as an employee you should be able to identify. You should realize that if you are working with the Standard then you are working with an organisation that wants to do things properly. You could get ahead more quickly at work because you are managing your career better and getting the support you need to develop. It should be a good place to work, with a positive and supportive atmosphere.
