Poor colleague experience in recent years

Pros

Bromford was an incredibly visionary and forward thinking housing organisation when I joined in 2016, never afraid to be bold and innovative. Focusing on behaviours and values, the result was that colleagues were engaged and felt valued. I had never worked anywhere where every single colleague worked and pulled together to get the right outcome. A true one team approach

Cons

Recent years have seen a total restructure in leadership at the highest level and a loss of focus on behaviours and values, introducing a blame culture and a disregard for the brand that had been so successfully built and nurtured over decades. So many Bromford colleagues have now left, either being restructured out of the organisation or voting with their feet, taking their customer focused skills sets with them. Head office has been relocated, further compounding the views that then aim of the current leadership team is to rid the organisation of everything good about what Bromford was and replace it with an inferior version.

Pros

A small army of great people doing their best, against a tide of incompetence and arrogance. Fantastic customers, who deserve better

Cons

A bullying culture being nurtured and encouraged from the top of Customer Experience, of all areas. If you have an unhappy team, this is passed on to customers. Colleague engagement at an all time low, customer advocacy crashing through the floor. Performance has never been worse, and moral is in a dangerous state. What was a fantastic place to work, is now nothing more than a toxic environment, with a constant flow of resignations by experienced , valued employees.

Pros

There are only one or two similar companies that pay a little less

Cons

Bromford is built entirely on lies . It offers plenty of lip service to staff and tenants which is 100% meaningless utter fabrication . Eco , care in the community and progression are typical examples of the lies . This company is all about profit and really doesn't care about the mental health and wellbeing of its staff and tenants . Ignorance is bliss should be the motto of this shambolic collection of shysters . Almost none of the management at any level has any experience or clue of what they are doing . The executives arrogantly drive around in company paid for Tesla cars without a care in the world . They have very little knowledge or regard of law whether it be employment or human rights . This is not a good company to work for if you value your quality of life . Stay well clear if you are looking for a new job .

We are sad to read your review and hear of your experience of Bromford. I can see you no longer work for Bromford but your feedback is still important to us. I am sorry you feel we do not care about out colleagues, in fact this couldn’t be further from the truth, we are passionate about Bromford being a great place to work and have several things in place to support our colleagues. We encourage colleagues to access support via the employee assistance programme, Mental health first aiders, Be-heard and engagement groups in addition to a colleague’s leader who can listen and offer support too.
