Wimborne-based Teachers Building Society has regained the Investors in People standard following a recent reassessment.
Successfully proving that the Society remains committed to providing a rewarding and encouraging environment for its staff, Teachers Building Society received recognition for its dedication in such a challenging climate for financial services providers.
Commenting on the achievement, chief executive James Bawa says, “We are immensely proud of our reputation for providing a first class customer service and we can only maintain that by ensuring that all our employees feel valued, have a voice in the organisation and are given opportunities to develop. I’m extremely proud of the team here at Teachers who continue to deliver excellence despite the backdrop of unprecedented circumstances.”
The Investors in People statement said of Teachers Building Society “Communications are at a very high level. The financial strategy of the Society is clear to everyone by virtue of the open communications that feature strongly in the ethos of the business, at Board level and across all staff. To achieve this, staff need to understand lending policies, the need to attract savers and having to control operational costs. Staff demonstrated a strong understanding of these principles, achieved through their own development and regular refreshes and could describe how they contribute their own ideas on improving performance.”
Teachers Building Society was founded over forty years ago by the National Union of Teachers and the Society remains dedicated to providing mortgages for teachers and education professionals, with its savings products available to everyone. A mutual organisation, Teachers Building Society has recently been named ‘most consistent savings provider’ by Moneyfacts and was also a finalist in the 2008 Dorset Business Awards for ‘Excellence in Customer Care’.
