Survey results from Best Executive have given Luminous and New Charter Housing Trust Group the top three star rating in the 2010 best companies to work for in the UK.
Among the 733 companies assessed sixty social housing organisations have been rated along with several housing associations who have appeared in the new ‘ones to watch’ category.
Ian Munro, chief executive of Manchester-based New Charter, said he was ‘thrilled’ to get the three-star rating.
‘We’ve worked hard to be a good employer as well as a great landlord. I believe a well trained and happy workforce is also a high performer,’ he said.
The survey of 276,000 people also found nine out of 10 employees in top companies say their manager cares about their job satisfaction, and 89 percent said their manager motivates them to perform their best.

Remember: Shared ownership properties are available to a wide range of people such as first time buyers, low income workers such as teachers, police officers, nurses, firemen, people who cannot buy without help perhaps due to bereavement or divorce and social tenants.
The main criteria to become eligible for an affordable home is: A household income of less than £60,000 (up to four people can be included within the total income) and you must not own another house.
Buying a shared ownership home enables you to buy a home to suit your needs by purchasing a share of the property and paying a subsidised rent on the part you do not own.
Depending on the scheme and personal circumstances:
The purchaser can buy a share of the property e.g. 25%, 50% or 75% and is generally financed by a mortgage available from a high street lender or specialist mortgage lender.
A subsidised rent is payable to the housing association for the share of the property which you do not own. For example if you buy a 30% share, then you will pay 70% of the rent which the housing association would normally charge for the whole property.
Once you have moved in and you can afford to buy a larger share in the property e.g. 10%, 25% then in most cases you can keep doing so until you own 100% of the property outright - this is known as ‘staircasing’.
