By promoting good practice, businesses can contribute to an employee’s economic and personal stability. Meanwhile, good employment can be a powerful tool in preventing and helping reduce homelessness, offering employees a stable income, support, and opportunities for personal growth.

“We are pleased to have been selected as the first ever charity partner for the Good Employment Charter Awards. This partnership is not only a testament to our ongoing commitment to fostering good employment practices, but it is also a great way to spotlight how businesses and organisations – in all their forms – can support charities like ours.
With the number of families and children living in temporary accommodation at an all-time high in the UK, good employment can offer a route out. All businesses should look at their own practices and seek better for their employees.
