The Housing Network is a specialist housing expert, operating since 2014, with a vital focus: providing good quality, safe accommodation and practical support to vulnerable people. By partnering with local authorities and other organisations, the organisation helps residents gain independence, offering everything from 24/7 maintenance to crucial aid like providing bedding and connecting individuals with local support services, such as the Mind centre in Kettering, thanks to a colleague's initiative. This work ensures that by 'looking after our residents, we look after the community.'
The organisation's dedication to its purpose is mirrored in its vibrant employee engagement strategy, which is anchored in its five core values: Dynamic, Dependable, Kind, Innovative, and Respectful. The leadership team ensures organisational clarity through Clear Vision and Purpose and Accessible Strategy, helping every employee understand how their role contributes to the social purpose. Commitment to connection is evident through initiatives like Team Challenges, such as Tough Mudder, which promote Wellbeing and build trust, and Company Gatherings that combine strategy updates with recognition. During Mental Health Awareness Week, the #Community theme was embraced through events like #WearItGreenDay and Healthy Snack Check-In, fostering a culture where kindness and belonging thrive. Furthermore, a values-led approach to Values Recognition ensures employees feel celebrated for both their achievements and 'how they achieve it,' making The Housing Network’s culture truly consistent across all locations.
