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.
