Lloyds TSB Award for People Management, Training & Development

Bank of Ireland in the Isle of Man was recently announced as one of three finalists for the Lloyds TSB Award for People Management, Training & Development at the inaugural Isle of Man Newspapers Awards for Excellence. The Awards are designed to recognise and celebrate the success of individuals and organisations in reaching their full potential. The high profile Awards evening was held at the beautiful Victorian Gaiety Theatre in Douglas on 28th November, with Gyles Brandreth, the well known after dinner speaker and broadcasting personality, as compere and lively entertainment provided by the legendary “Rat Pack” and “Marilyn Monroe”.

Represented by Michael McKay, Chief Operating Officer, and Gillian Dick, HR Manager, Bank of Ireland received recognition at the Awards ceremony for its high Employee Engagement scores, low rates of staff turnover, high levels of tailored staff training support, and achieving and maintaining the high standards required by the Investors in People accreditation.

With over 140 entries overall, the competition was intense and the winner of the Lloyds TSB Award category was Charterhouse, a corporate service provider based in the north of the Island.

On being announced as a finalist for the award, Michael McKay said, “We are particularly pleased to be recognised locally as an employer of choice that has created a challenging, rewarding and satisfying work environment in which employees are encouraged to further develop skills and knowledge, which in turn enables us to deliver a quality service to our customers.”
