Broadland Housing Association, founded in 1963, continues to provide quality homes across Norfolk and north Suffolk, counting over 5,500 properties in their portfolio. The organisation’s ethos is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves a home that meets their needs. To fulfil this mission, Broadland Housing Association pays significant attention to the wellbeing of its employees, recognising that it's the people that help create thriving neighbourhoods and communities.
The Association's commitment to employee engagement is spearheaded by the CEO and Leadership Team, who champion effective communication through a dedicated Teams Channel, regular one-to-ones, annual symposiums, birthday events, and informal coffee catch-ups. These initiatives foster an open and supportive environment, allowing for the free exchange of ideas and concerns.
Furthermore, Broadland Housing Association's core principles are intricately woven into the fabric of the organisation, from the Corporate Strategy to daily operations. They're reflected in job descriptions, feedback tools, appraisals and one-to-one meetings, reinforcing the importance of treating each other fairly and respectfully.
The Association encourages team cohesion through regular Team Away Days, promoting fun interaction and relationship building. A system for providing feedback tagged to a specific principle facilitates recognition of individual contributions.
Broadland Housing Association also recognises the importance of face-to-face contact, scheduling team working days at least once a month. Its semi-annual "Challenge and Change" event further promotes an open culture, giving every employee the confidence to challenge behaviours they may witness.
