Joint assessment is the term given to any assessments involving more than one quality standard.

It is possible to undertake Lexcel and Investors in People assessment simultaneously. This offers various benefits to organisations. Obviously it offers the same evaluation and advice service that would be gained from undertaking each assessment individually. It also offers additional advantages however. Due to very similar assessment processes for most quality standards, it is possible to combine the assessments in to one assessment visit. This means that some of the evidence that must be presented for one standard can also be used as evidence for the other. This cuts down on time taken and on the amount of disruption caused to the organisation, and gives a more complete view of the organisations position. The cost (compared to undertaking each assessment separately) may also be lower in some instances.

Many organisations find that they can take much more value from joint assessment than they would from just the assessment about which they originally approached us, and at little more disruption to the organisation.
