Raise standards where they need to be raised

Help purchasers differentiate OH providers that attain the desired standards from those that do not
ISO 9001 Quality Management
ISO 9001 helps us to effectively manage our business and meet our client’s requirements. ISO 9001 is the International Standard for Quality Management Systems. It is the most widely used way of demonstrating to clients that we are committed to our service and have been assessed accordingly.
ISO 22301 Continuity Management
ISO 22301 is the International Standard for Business Continuity Management.
The accreditation helps PAM to effectively decrease the possibility of disruptive incidents, and on such incidents occurring, ensures we are ready to respond in an appropriate way. This drastically decreases the potential damage of such events and ensures our service delivery will not be significantly impacted.
ISO 27001 Information Security Management
Occupational health deals with large amounts of personal and medical information. Given our embrace of systems we therefore recognise the need to provide confidence to our clients that our systems are secure and support our operations.
ISO 27001 is the International Standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). It allows both us and our clients to take confidence in the information security measures that we employ. This includes the continued accessibility, confidentiality and integrity of our own information and that of our clients as well as legal compliance.
Investors in People
Occupational health is people-driven business; we therefore rely on the quality output and performance of our staff in order to provide high quality services to our clients. To achieve this PAM invests extensively in our people through continued professional development.
In order to ensure that our approach and practices are aligned to best practice and are effective we have undergone a comprehensive project of assessments and audits carried out by Investors in People – who are the UK’s leading people management standard, specialising in transforming business performance through people.
