This presentation highlights the vital role of tenant and resident perspectives in improving housing associations' performance. With insights shared by Michael Gelling, OBE, CIHM, SPBM, the discussion covers satisfaction metrics, the importance of reality checks against local landlords, and tenant panels' functions. The emphasis is on fostering a culture that embraces change, encouraging feedback, and leveraging partnerships for training and support.
