Welcom Software – the first IT company in the UK to achieve the Investors In People (IiP) Leadership and Management model, has further strengthened its reputation as a people’s champion with a prestigious award.

Welcom, which provides cutting-edge business solutions to the financial services and retail sectors, won the ‘Progress Through People’ accolade at the York Evening Press Business Awards.

The judges singled out the company from stiff competition, acknowledging its clear people objectives and drive to create an enabling and empowering environment that encourages open communication, increased productivity, and employee happiness.

Welcom’s investment in staff is substantial. Its passion to harness aspirations sees 14 employees – 23 per cent of the entire team – currently undergoing Dale Carnegie training courses that are challenging employees to reach their full potential and work more effectively as a team.

A partnership comprising Chief Executive Officer Nigel Welch and Chief Operating Officer Nigel Corp, are developing the company’s young, fresh and innovative culture, in which the business is seen as a ‘community’.

Corp said: “This acknowledgement is a tremendous accolade which we are collectively celebrating. As a team we are stronger than ever – lines of communication have been vastly improved, with every employee empowered to play a more vital role in our ambitious and exciting plans for further growth and expansion.”
