Company Commitment
IDS is a team of people striving to achieve the goals of the company we work for. If we are to achieve those goals we must train and develop ourselves to be the best in the industry. We are the primary competitive factor in maintaining our current clients, achieving new customers and maintaining our position as the best in the industry. Our training and development is the competitive advantage we have as a company and in being properly valued, trained, developed and motivated, this ensures that our company goals are achieved.

Responsibility for Training
The responsibility for identifying training needs and ensuring these needs are met is established between the employee and the line manager. It is the responsibility of each employee and line manager to ensure they have been given the required amount of training to complete the assigned tasks and department goals and complete the basic occupational training associated with their role.

Induction Training
Every new employee of the company will follow the company induction programme.

Other Training
All employees will attend retraining in areas such as change, culture, technology and other training as and when required.

Training Budget
Each department devotes between 5 and 10% of their wages and purchases budgets to training.

Training Administration
Each quarter, all line managers will collate their department's training logs and submit them to the company administrator, who will in return compile a summary report. This report will document the company's commitment to training and be evidence in demonstrating that we are an Investor in People.
