Osprey have recently signed up to a new opportunity to promote good business practice.

Zero Hours Justice is an organisation which aims to promote employers who do not use zero hours contracts or only use them with certain minimal requirements. They have a new Accreditation Scheme and we are delighted to confirm that we have recently been recognised by them as a No Zero Hours Employer.

We are proud to lead the way and demonstrate that good business practice means providing our workers with the security and stability of working hours that they need. We recognize that that it is now more important than ever to show our staff that we value them and demonstrate to the wider business world that we operate a good business and make profit without using zero hours contracts. We also want our tenants and customers to know that we recognise that the services we provide are dependent on our workforce and our accreditation from Zero Hours Justice can give our tenants and customers the satisfaction that we do not and will not use zero hours contracts.

Zero Hours Justice offer their No Zero Hours Accreditation Scheme to all employers in the private and public sectors and third-sector organisations who do not employ workers on zero hours contracts. Being accredited is a way to demonstrate that our organisation recognises the financial pressure being on a zero hours contract places on people and their families. Being unsure of what money you have coming in to pay for your living costs is wrong and can cause working people to go into debt and suffer anxiety and worry. By recognising and promoting employers who choose not to use zero hours contracts Zero Hours Justice and Osprey Housing hope to persuade other employers to follow suit.
