Press Release

Further recognition for FSC

The Financial Services Commission is very pleased to announced that it has been recognised as meeting the Silver standard of the Investors In People Award (IiP).

In doing so, the FSC has become part of an elite group of Investors in People Organisations which are recognised at this level (only 1% of Investors in People Organisations worldwide hold the additional recognition status).

Welcoming the recognition, the FSC’s Chief Executive Office, Marcus Killick, said;

“As international regulatory requirements become more complex, the areas of supervision we are responsible become wider and the finance sector in Gibraltar continues to develop, it is important to us that our HR management is at the leading edge of best practice.
Our most important asset has always been the quality and dedication of our people and, in their development, we see the IiP standard as a key component in verifying that we continue doing what is best for them.”

The assessment was conducted by Investors in People International over two days and included in-depth interviews with a large number of staff. 

The FSC project was led by the Chief Operations Officer, David Parody and Tessa Sacramento whom Marcus Killick thanked, commenting:.

“The fact that we met 97 additional criteria of the silver standard, far above the 76 required, is due in no small part to their efforts over the last few months”


Notes For Editors:

 

The FSC first obtained recognition under this award in July 2007 as part of a pilot programme introduced by the Government of Gibraltar in conjunction with the Business School of Durham University.

The Silver standard is obtained by demonstrating that the organisation meets 76 additional criteria of the award.
