Believe housing, a prominent housing association in North East England, is determined to provide 'life without barriers' through its exceptional services and investment in homes and communities. With a team of over 600 dedicated employees, the organisation works relentlessly to deliver an excellent people experience, driving innovation and inclusivity within the workplace. The firm's values, 'do the right thing for our colleagues, for our customers, for our business', are firmly ingrained in its culture, shaping strategic objectives and guiding every interaction and decision.

The organisation is committed to transparent communication, employing several methods to keep employees informed and motivated. For instance, senior leaders share written content and videos with the latest updates, changes, and government guidelines. Believe housing also encourages open engagement sessions and attendance at welcome events for new starters. The Workplace platform is a crucial tool for boosting morale and sharing important messages, often through videos that offer a more personal touch.

Believe housing also values flexibility and creativity, promoting a work culture named 'the believe way', which emphasizes simplicity and focusing on tasks that truly matter. This approach fosters an environment where innovation thrives, and every employee feels empowered to make a difference. With clear objectives and expectations, employees are encouraged to strike a work-life balance that aligns with the company's vision and values. The organisation's annual Innovation Academy offers an excellent opportunity for employees to brainstorm new ideas that can improve customer experience and working conditions.
