The company, which is one of the fastest growing train operators in the UK employing more than 1,000 colleagues was also recognised for its approach to workplace wellbeing with the Health & Wellbeing Award.
External assessors visited TPE and interviewed drivers, conductors, station staff and managers from across the business. Health and wellbeing was also recognised as a particular strength and TPE received a special award for its focus in this area.
IiP is the international standard for people management, defining what it takes to lead, support and manage people effectively to achieve sustainable results. Underpinning the Standard is the IiP framework, reflecting the latest workplace trends, essential skills and effective structures required to outperform in any industry.
Launched in late 2015, the sixth generation IiP Standard enables organisations to benchmark against the best in the business on an international scale.
