Selwood Housing Groups Senior Management Team demonstrate their commitment to the values of the organisation by ensuring they communicate regularly with members of staff within the organisation. This consists of monthly updates through staff briefs that employees attend to gain further knowledge of the organisation. Other forms of involvement and communication with staff include the staff forum, which is chaired by the Group CEO. Communication channels are also kept open with the company magazine and through tenant representation on the board. Leadership days also take place regularly to shape the strategy and reinforce the values of the organisation. Selwood Housing's CEO is very approachable and he works from an open plan office. New employees of the organisation meet with Selwood's leader on starting their employment, where the Group CEO goes through the company corporate plan. Acknowledgement of success and achievement are carried out by both leaders of the organisation. Extra efforts by staff do not go unnoticed and recognition is always given.
