OTD

Your people matter to us. We’re driven by a simple mission: to inspire your team to thrive, by creating lasting change.

To make that happen, we believe our own workplace culture has to lead by example. That’s why we’ve built an environment that’s dynamic, inclusive, and designed to engage.

World-class people management

This year, OTD achieved Investors in People (IIP) Platinum, a global standard for exceptional people management.

What does IIP Platinum mean? It’s the top level of recognition, awarded to only a select few of IIP’s 15,000 global members.

The highest award available against an internationally recognised standard for people management.
Developed over 30 years to help organisations, leaders, and employees create more effective, productive workplaces.
Held by only a small percentage of businesses worldwide.

Achieving Platinum status means that at OTD, our commitment to supporting and developing our people isn’t just a policy, it’s embedded into the very fabric of our culture.

In fact, IIP assessors were so impressed with what they saw that they also nominated us for the prestigious ‘Employer of the Year’ award.

Redefining work

And we’re not stopping here. We’re constantly evolving how we engage with our team - and yours. We’re already planning a range of new initiatives for 2025, designed to keep inspiring, challenging, and developing your people long after they leave our sessions.

If you’re on a similar journey to transform your workplace, we’d love to share our insights about how IIP accreditation and our learning programmes can drive real change for you and your team. Please get in touch.
