Rhondda Cynon Taff housing association a Top Employer
Newydd Housing Association, with 800 properties in RCT, is a Top Employer having been recognised in the Inside Housing Innovation Index for 2016.
The Top Employers list includes those housing organisations that outperform the UK norm – an average score from hundreds of UK organisations across all sectors. This year 45 organisations were recognised on the list. Newydd, with nearly 100 staff, was placed at number 25, the second highest organisation from Wales.
The scheme highlights housing organisations with a caring, creative and can-do culture that supports innovation in the workplace. Results are based on staff responses to an in-depth survey carried out by Inside Housing magazine’s research partner Dolphin Index.
Emma Maier, editor-in-chief of Inside Housing magazine said: “Housing providers are facing huge challenges and innovation is crucial to being successful in the future. The results of the 2016 Innovation Index highlight those that are serious about creating a culture that engages employees and supports them to innovate and the organisation to succeed.”
Mark Brown, chief executive of Dolphin Index, said: “We can give our tenants and employees a much better life. People can have much more enjoyable lives at work in ways that drive more successful organisations.”
