The Asset Management Network is pleased to announce its latest best practice group.

Best practice groups are free to members and are a fantastic opportunity to hear about what’s happening in the sector and network with fellow housing professionals.

As always, the session will be facilitated by Debbie Larner and take place via Zoom.

What will we cover?

In October, HQN ran a series of roundtables to drill down into the impact of the current and future operating environment on different areas of the housing service.

Some of the key issues identified by asset and repairs staff were:

·        The current skills shortage

·        Difficulties around recruitment and retention of qualified tradespeople

·        The increased cost of materials

·        Increases in reports of damp and mould

·        Backlogs of repairs since Covid

·        Cutting back on planned maintenance programmes.

Are you facing similar challenges? Are you planning to do anything differently? Or do you just want to talk to colleagues who are in the same boat as you?

Why you should come to the best practice group:

  • Great way to find out what others are doing
  • Good, honest and open discussions
  • Sharing best practice and ideas with others in similar roles
  • Acts as a sense-check about what people are doing or thinking of doing.

    If you’re new to the network or haven’t attended a best practice group before, hear what your housing colleagues are saying about them:

    “Every meeting that I’ve attended has given me a new idea to take away or helped me understand how I could improve my service”

    “The best practice groups have been really useful. They offer reassurance on our processes, new ideas and a chance to meet new and familiar colleagues working in housing”

    “A safety net to ensure nothing is forgotten or overlooked. So many things change in legislation or best practice it’s good to hear what others are doing to challenge your own thought process”.

    “The best practice groups are fantastic. I’ve been inspired by many of the shared ideas, information and knowledge that colleagues bring”

    Best practice groups are a great way of engaging with your network/hub members.

    We look forward to seeing you there!
