Yep, our colleagues are amazing. The unique strengths and talents they bring to the table every single day is what makes Yorkshire Housing the amazing place that it is. We love making a big deal out of our people and their incredible achievements, it’s a big part of our company culture. Here’s the lowdown on how we celebrate colleagues:
We use Perkbox for celebrating colleagues day-to-day. Managers can reward their team members for doing a fab job or celebrate workiversaries with Perkbox rewards that can be turned into vouchers to spend.
Colleagues can also recognise each other for great work linked to our company values. You see, we’re big on peer-to-peer celebration, and believe recognition should come from everyone (not just from the top). Every quarter, we recognise the unsung heroes within the business with our ‘Best of Yorkshire’ awards!
So, what awards are up for grabs?
