Client

Cardiff Community Housing Association; responsible for over 3,000 homes in Wales

  • Cardiff Community Housing Association (CCHA) is a community-based Registered Social Landlord.
  • CCHA rents homes to over 3000 families in Splott, Butetown and Adamsdown
  • CCHA works with tenants to transform their lives, in some of Cardiff's most disadvantaged neighbourhoods.

Challenge

Transfer a group of employees from an outsourced provider into the organisation with no interruptions to service (...during a pandemic)

  • CCHA decided to insource its repairs and maintenance service in late 2019, to deliver greater value for money and create resilience in its services.
  • In early 2020, we were commissioned to manage and deliver the TUPE project.
  • A group of employees would transfer to CCHA on 1st April 2020.

Solution

Clear, honest and open communication throughout the transfer process

  • We worked together with the in-house HR Team and quickly got up-to-speed.
  • We joined CCHA's project team and took responsibility for the people aspects of the change project.
  • We communicated with project leaders weekly, regularly met transferring employees, resolved queries, and began integrating the new team with existing CCHA colleagues.

Impact

Service and employees transferred; no disruption to service delivery

  • The team transferred without interruption to tenant services – no mean feat at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic!
  • No grievances, complaints or resignations were received.
  • We supported our client to offer aligned Terms and Conditions of Employment; 100% of incoming employees voluntarily accepted the new contract.
  • As the teams integrated into CCHA, transferred colleagues have been promoted and developed into new roles.
