Cheltenham Borough Homes is responsible for the management and maintenance of Cheltenham Borough Council’s housing stock and housing and homeless service. It is a non-profit making limited company with a non-executive Board of Directors.
Cheltenham Borough Homes is dedicated to being a person centred organisation that cares for its colleagues and customers. To ensure that this happens, a set of four core principles are in place; Trustworthy, Supportive, One Team, and Respectful.
The organisation also takes care to look after the mental and physical wellbeing of its employees through a number of practices.
Wellbeing benefits include the provision of an Employee Health Cash Plan, the opportunity to join the BUPA health cash plan, access to an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) and App, flu vaccinations, Wellness Recovery plans, medical assessments and the provision of a local Occupational Health Care provider.
Cheltenham Borough Homes also has a Wellbeing Zone, where helpful wellbeing related training is available. Its team of Wellbeing Champions support colleagues with all aspects of their wellbeing and meet to organise wellbeing activities and events for employees. Recent events include Mental Health Awareness week with a range of activities each day.
The Wellbeing Champions continue to support colleagues by sharing fun online quizzes and provide a range of games in the offices. They are also planning to celebrate the ‘National Play Day’ in 2023. Following a successful pilot, the organisation provides free breakfasts and is setting up ‘Wellbeing’ areas in all the kitchen/communal areas of all of its offices.
