When the people we work with feel valued, respected, and supported, they are more likely to excel in their roles. Creating an inclusive and people-centred work environment is essential for our organisation’s vision.
I want to congratulate our family at Catalyst Care Group for being a certified Great Place To Work, for being a place where people come first, and colleagues are putting others first. I thank everyone for the part that they’ve played to create an environment where everyone feels valued.
said Trevor Mapondera, CEO of Catalyst Care Group.
The Importance of the Impact Our People Create
Great Place to Work® Certification is one of the most prestigious awards for organisations across the globe and being acknowledged in this way goes to show that our focus on putting people first is working.
It also demonstrates what a diverse group of people dedicated to helping one another achieve greatness through our unique abilities can achieve. And we want to acknowledge you because your unique ability is the most impactful of all for us. You get up every morning to make a difference to vulnerable people in our society who need it most, and for this, we are so grateful.
It has been and continues to be a privilege to share this journey of humanising care with those who need our support, and we are so excited to see what the future holds for us as a family.
Together, we can ensure that this accomplishment is one our company celebrates for many years to come!
Additionally, the report stated that people are supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives, and staff supports the individuals in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests.
The staff enabled people to broaden their horizons and develop new interests and friends. At Leaf Complex Care Exeter, they encourage people to be more engaged with their community, to enjoy people’s company and see them as individuals.
For example, one staff member was part of the “speedway community”, and this individual frequently went to races. They had special ‘shoutouts’ and had become well-known and friendly faces in that community.
The support Leaf Complex Care Exeter provides is person-centred and promotes people’s dignity, privacy and human rights; Staff relationships with people were caring and supportive. The staff provided care that was kind and compassionate. The value concept of ‘family’ saw people, staff and families working as a team.
What’s interesting to know is that the care files are extremely personalised to reflect people’s specific preferences. Their views and suggestions are taken into consideration to improve the service.
Therefore, people are kept safe from avoidable harm because the staff knows them well and understands how to protect them from abuse. The service worked well with other agencies to do so.
Creating a Great Place to Work for everyone!
Our leaders’ innovative and visionary minds take continuous steps to create an even more human-centred and healthy work environment.
