LPU Batangas is Asia’s FIRST IiP Gold Accredited University

LPU Batangas (LPU-B) successfully passed the Investors in People – Gold accreditation visit held February 5-6, 2015. The IiP assessment team was composed by Ms. Janet Webster, Mrs. Tess Villanueva and Mr. Gerry Plana with the support of Ms. Reyah Masalunga.

Investors in People is a quality assurance framework that originated in United Kingdom. This focuses on the achievement of the organizational vision through effective people management.

For the IiP Gold accreditation, an organization must have at least 165 evidence requirements based on the IiP Framework. This should be manifested by the top management which are then verified among the managers and the people. LPU-B got 172 evidence requirements (ERs) which is way beyond the required number of ERs. This also elevates the status of LPU-B from being the Asia’s First IiP – Silver Accredited University to becoming Asia’s first IiP Gold accredited University. LPU-B was able to move from silver to gold in just a period of 1 year.

LPU-B aims to be a center for people management which would expand the use of the IiP principles from organizational management to training and instruction embedded in its curricular offerings.

Truly, this achievement is a collective effort of the entire LPU-B powerteam. LPU-B believes that its greatest strength is truly its people.

Mabuhay ang bawat myembro ng pamilya ng LPU Batangas.

Long live Senator Sotero H. Laurel’s legacy to the world. Long live LPU Batangas.
