How we work with employees How we work with employees To achieve our mission, it’s essential that our feel valued and empowered and are given the training and support they need to deliver the best results for our clients. This means creating a culture in which employees are supported, trusted and listened to, and in which creativity and new ideas are encouraged. In particular, we value the perspectives of frontline staff who are often best placed to understand client need. Many of our managers are themselves former support workers (even our Chief Executive, Liz Rutherfoord, began her career as a trainee hostel worker at SHP in the 1980s) and we strive to develop services in a responsive and flexible way which draws on the energy, commitment and expertise of our people. We’re committed to continuously improving workforce engagement at Single Homeless Project, giving employees a role in shaping services and a say in how the wider organisation is run. We use a variety of tools – including newsletters, an Intranet, surveys, consultations, in-team discussions and conferences – to keep our employees informed and connected and to capture their views on the organisation and its work.
