Teachers Building Society

60a41fa8df49eb26ff02d8a0
The society works with Wimborne Foodbank and pre-pandemic this meant dating tins and stacking shelves, among other tasks. During the pandemic it has donated food and cash to help with increased demands. It has also planted a bee-friendly garden at the front of the building as part of Wimborne War on Waste.
Colour profiling was introduced as a means to improve internal communication, a key area for action following the organisation's last large survey. Initially approached with scepticism by some, the profiling has been transformative - so much so that it is now part of the company's DNA and used from the first day of employment.
The society promotes and develops staff and regularly has internal movers from its business-support areas into technical and professional roles. It has recently committed to sponsoring the head of sales and marketing through a master's degree in strategic leadership at Loughborough University.
