Over the past several years IPS has been implementing a World Best Practice approach to our services.

IPS was Australia's and probably the world's first Quality Endorsed EAP Provider

World Best Practice is a comprehensive approach to the continuous improvement of all facets of our organisation's operations. Best practice is a moving target: as the leading organisations continue to improve, the 'best practice' goalposts are constantly moving. However, some general principles have emerged from the experiences of organisations which are pursuing best practice in Australia:

• Commitment to continuous improvement and learning.
• Closer relationships with suppliers.
• Innovation in technology, products and processes.
• Performance measurement and benchmarking.
• Networking with other organisations to enhance competitiveness.
• Focus on customers.

• Shared vision for world class service and performance.
• Strategic plan, developed in consultation with workers.
• Commitment to change throughout the organisation.
• Flatter organisational structures, involving a team approach.
• Cooperative and participative organisational culture.
