This social housing provider took ownership of 4,200 homes from Durham county council in April last year. The 76 employees at Dale and Valley Homes are given lots of opportunities to get to know each other better, from working together to set up the new properties to turning an office clear-out into a team event. Flexitime is available for all at this Bishop Auckland-based operation, a subsidiary of Co Durham Housing Group. People don't think work is harming their health (86% positive, third on our small not-for-profit list), or that it interferes with their home lives (82%, also third). www.daleandvalleyhomes.co.uk
