Together is Better
Our TIB (Together is Better) Program is at the heart of Equality, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EEDI) at Homes for Students. It unites representatives from various departments to lead and implement our EEDI strategy, fostering an inclusive environment that celebrates our diverse student demographic.
Through TIB, we aim to integrate equality, equity, diversity, and inclusion into our culture. Involving representatives from all areas of the business instils a sense of ownership and shared responsibility in driving our EEDI strategy. It serves as a platform for open dialogue, idea sharing, and innovative solutions, creating an environment where every student and colleague feels valued, respected, and empowered to succeed.
The People’s Voice
Created in response to our annual colleague engagement survey, The People’s Voice team is a group of volunteers from a cross section of the business who come together to help continuously improve Homes for Students as a place to work. The group provides a genuine opportunity to voice feedback gathered from their respective areas, share best practice, problem solve and generate new ideas.
Improving uniform, introducing a calendar of wellbeing initiatives and restructuring our reward & recognition scheme are just some examples of the group’s success in recent years. Each quarter, a temperature check survey is issued to an anonymous sample of colleagues, the results of which inform the People’s Voice team’s priorities.
Insights Discovery
All our employees learn about Our Insights Discovery Programme once onboarding with Homes for Students. Insights Discovery is a valuable resource that equips our colleagues with a simple yet powerful tool for self-awareness and effective communication.
Based on a four-color model, this program enables individuals to gain a deeper understanding of themselves, their communication styles, and how they interact with others.
