Peabody is overseen by 12 board members. Together they bring a broad range of expertise and experience to Peabody, in fields ranging from customer service, finance and property, to the governance and management of housing associations. Up to two board members can be residents, which help to bring a customer's perspective to board meetings. The board meets formally six times a year.
Board members also serve on one or more functional committees:
-
the finance committee and audit and risk committee meet four times a year to oversee, and report to the board about, Peabody's financial reporting processes, accounting and control systems, risk management and external and internal audit functions.
-
the property committee meets four times a year to oversee the effective asset management of Peabody's properties and the control and delivery of development, reinvestment programmes and other asset-related projects across the group.
-
the resident and community committee meets four times a year to oversee the provision of services to Peabody's current and prospective tenants, leaseholders and other customers, including housing management and community regeneration functions.
-
the nominations and remuneration committee meets two times a year to advise the board about remuneration issues, including senior staff salaries, the appointment and performance of governors and human resources policies.
Board members also serve on the complaints and feedback panel, which receives positive feedback about Peabody's services and hears any complaints from customers.
The day-to-day management of Peabody is delegated by the board members to the chief executive and the executive team.
Peabody complies with the National Housing Federation's code of governance.
