The Tenancy Deposit Scheme has been placed 84th in the Sunday Times Best 100 Not-for-Profit companies to work for 2017.
The award is judged on workplace engagement, based on eight factors of workplace engagement, and comes after the organisation was named ‘one to watch’ last year.
To celebrate, TDS will be holding a party on March 3, which is National Best Companies Day.
As part of this party, colleagues are planning to donate and bake for a market-style fundraiser for two local charities, and TDS has pledged to match the total amount raised.
TDS has also announced a new six-part training programme for letting agents and landlords. The training expands on its existing courses, which have focused on deposit protection and adjudication workshops.
The programme deals with the legal issues around setting up a tenancy and the full-day course will be led by TDS legal adviser Hilary Crook. The first course is next month.
Steve Harriott, chief executive of TDS, said: “Customers have really valued our deposit protection training but told us that they want more detail. These courses all tie back to deposit protection, but take a detailed look at key parts of the tenancy lifecycle.
“With such a focus on raising standards in the private rented sector, our training is intended to arm the property professional with the insight and very best practice to stay the right side of the law.”
