This report, published in association with the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, looks at the domination of new social landlords and the changes in management style and approach they have adopted. The report's findings show that the transfer process has resulted in the adoption of a more customer-focused approach to housing management, and innovations in landlords' organizational structures and staff management practices have promoted openness and innovation. |

| Publisher Description: This report presents the findings of the first in-depth research into the nature of the organisations being created through the stock transfer process; their organisational culture, governance arrangements and staff management practices. It also investigates the role of Transfer HAs as developers and their evolving relationships with the local authorities. It asks critical questions such as: - How different are transfer HAs from traditional Housing Associations? - To what extent can they be considered a new breed of dynamic RSLs (Registered Social Landlords)? - How far have they inherited the values and ethos of their antecedent bodies? |
