CityWest Homes Strategy 2018 – 2022

Page 2: CityWest Homes Strategy 2018–2022 - City of Westminster · CityWest Homes Strategy 7. This means: 1. Continuing to offer services by phone and face to face and introducing online

It’s two years since I launched CityWest Homes’ five year strategy and I’m very proud to share our progress and set out new priorities to take us to 2022.2017 brought highs and lows for social housing providers and CityWest Homes. Our strategy has been updated to reflect some new priorities that have emerged. However, my focus remains achieving CityWest Homes’ vision:

‘ To be trusted and recommended by our customers in Westminster, based on our reputation for quality, value and service.’

Much of the strategy and direction remains unchanged and the strategic objectives set in 2015 remain valid and relevant. This updated strategy to 2022 includes new targets in the following areas which complement and strengthen our previous strategy:

• Getting the basics right

• Fire safety

• Digitalising services

• Data and performance

• Strengthening communications

• New housing supply

• Culture and supporting our people.

Getting the basics right In 2017 we made a number of changes to the way we deliver our services, including launching a new contact centre and letting new repairs contracts. As with any change, we have met challenges. We take the quality of our services very seriously and are working hard to get those services working effectively for our customers.

Our new service model is designed to improve the consistency of service delivered to customers whilst freeing housing management staff to spend more time in the community, visiting residents and managing estates – creating healthy, safe and thriving communities.

Fire safety The tragic fire at Grenfell Tower carries implications for all housing providers and the full impact will take time to emerge. However rather than wait for regulations, CityWest Homes and Westminster City Council have worked together to decide what is the right thing to do to improve fire safety for our residents. We have a programme of works to improve safety levels and we will respond swiftly to any new requirements that come out of the Grenfell Inquiry.

Digitalising services Our plans to make better use of technology touch everything that we do. They include providing secure services online for customers, providing our people with technology to do their jobs more effectively and using smart technology in the home to support our customers and improve the reliability of our building services such as lifts and boilers. In 2017 we updated our website to provide better information and in 2018 we will introduce secure online services that will allow customers to check and manage their own account, as well as report repairs and apply for permits and facilities at any time.

Data and performance All businesses demand a greater level of data to run effectively and we are no exception. We will capture data as we deliver services but we will also protect the legal rights of people who have information stored about them and ensure our systems comply with data protection requirements.

Strengthening communications We have made changes to how we deliver services and will provide customers with regular open and honest communications on service levels, including up to date transparent information on our website.

New housing supply The Leader of the Council has set out a new approach to providing affordable housing in the city and we are very pleased to play our part in that work.

Culture and supporting our peopleWe need good people to deliver high quality services and so supporting and motivating our people is essential for the success of our strategy. We have added a range of ways to help our people perform well and maintain trust.

We have achieved much since setting out the strategy in 2015. Over the next five years we will continue to challenge ourselves with this demanding set of updated objectives which will be incredibly stretching for us. However, I believe that the benefits for our customers and stakeholder will be significant.

I look forward to working jointly with residents to shape the services that matter most.

Our mission: We believe that providing good quality affordable housing has a profound influence on people’s lives, aspirations and achievements. We aim to provide high quality homes in safe attractive neighbourhoods and to support our residents. We capture this purpose in our mission:

Our vision to 2022:We will focus on driving up service quality whilst reducing costs by becoming more efficient and cutting out waste and processes that do not add value. We will demonstrate our progress towards achieving the vision through a set of targets against which we will be held to account. Our vision to 2022 is:

Creating places where people are

proud to live.

This document sets out our mission, vision and strategy to 2022 and specifies the strategic objectives that will ensure we achieve the vision. Everything we do is underpinned by our values, which remain alive and relevant to the business.

Together these elements combine to provide us with clarity of purpose and a coherent framework within which to work.

’ To be trusted and recommended by our customers in Westminster, based on our reputation for quality, value and service.’

Our values: We introduced our values in 2009 and we believe they have stood the test of time. They are an integral part of our human resources processes and used to recruit and reward our people. As we deliver the strategy we will refocus our people on the following five values to ensure they are reflected in everything we do:

• All about our customers

• A great and safe place to work

• Responsible with money

• Finding better ways

• Keeping our promises.
