Wyre Forest based Community Housing has been recognised as a 5 Star Employer after receiving positive feedback from their employees through independent employee engagement experts WorkBuzz.
In June 2025, WorkBuzz invited all employees at Community Housing to provide confidential feedback about their employee experience (EX); ranging from their opinions on leadership and the organisational direction, to the efficacy of line managers, strength of teamwork, and how empowered individuals feel to do their roles.
Community Housing was awarded the WorkBuzz 5 Star Employer award, demonstrating their high levels of employee engagement, compared to other businesses of a similar size.
Matt Cooney, Chief Executive, Community Housing said “We’re incredibly proud to be recognised as a 5 Star Employer by WorkBuzz. This award means so much because it reflects the honest views of our colleagues. Our people are at the heart of everything we do, and we’re committed to creating a workplace where everyone feels valued, supported, and able to thrive. This recognition is a testament to the culture we’ve built together and the passion our teams bring to delivering great services every day.”
Steven Frost, CEO of WorkBuzz commented – “At WorkBuzz we believe that exceptional employee experience deserves to be recognised and celebrated. Our five-star awards stand out because they are not a branding exercise. The Awards have a data-driven criteria and the results are powerful because they come straight from the horse’s mouth – the actual employees of each company who enter. This award recognises the best workplace cultures where employees are proud to work, are motivated to do more, and want to stay for the foreseeable future. It’s a pleasure to partner with an organisation who truly care about their employee’s experience and have worked hard to ensure they create a culture where their people can thrive.”
The awards will be given on an ongoing basis and are valid for 12 months from award.
