Matt Roberts, PR and media advisor
For the sixth consecutive year, one of the UK’s largest housing associations has ranked among the top ten best places to work in the UK.
Home Group placed 4th in the UK’s Best Workplaces, as part of the 2024 Great Place to Work Survey.
The housing association, which has around 3,500 staff, improved from its position of 7th last year and has not been outside the top ten since 2018.
Mark Henderson, Chief Executive of Home Group said: “We are immensely proud to have not only secured another top ten place through our Great Place to Work scores but to have improved on last year as well. It is an achievement we should all be proud of as an organisation and demonstrates that we are always striving to improve.
“What makes this accolade all the more special is the fact it comes directly from our colleagues. There’s no judging panel or polished submission to decide our Great Place to Work scores; it is based on honest feedback from our staff.
“I’m so proud to work with amazing people across our business, who always show such passion and commitment to their work and to supporting each other and our customers.
“We will celebrate our colleagues’ hard work through this accolade, but we also know that we must not become complacent. There is always room for improvement, as we showed this year, and so we will continue to listen and learn from our colleagues, new and existing, to see how we can further develop Home Group as a great place to work and grow.”
The Great Place to Work awards recognise the best super large, large, medium, and small workplaces in the UK, with Home Group named in the Super Large category for businesses with over 1,000 employees.
Home Group were the highest ranked and one of only three housing associations named in the top 40 organisations, as well as being the highest placed charitable organisation in this year’s awards.
The ranking also means Home Group retain their ‘Laureate’ status, a special accolade awarded to organisations who have been on the list for more than five years.
