Module 2: Thrive People

Our People & Culture Team

Our People & Culture team is committed to creating a positive and supportive workplace where everyone can thrive. We will be on hand to support you with delivering your team objectives with a dedicated People Partner to support your area within Thrive. The team ensures that Thrive remains a great place to work by supporting colleagues at every stage of their journey, from onboarding to career growth. We provide support and guidance on recruitment, colleague wellbeing, learning and development, diversity and inclusion, and fostering a strong workplace culture.

Once you join Thrive Homes you will have an introductory meeting with your People Partner, and regular meetings throughout your time at Thrive to support your area.
