Fortune Magazine and Great Place to Work have announced the winners of its 75 Best Workplaces for Women list, ranking the nation’s best workplace environments for large companies, and several industry leaders in the housing space made the list.
The companies selected were determined by anonymous survey feedback representing more than 4.5 million U.S. employees. Notably, the majority of the ranking is based on the 60-question Trust Index survey, measuring how fair female workers feel their experiences are compared to the reports of their male coworkers.
PrimeLending made the list, and CEO and Chairman Todd Salmans said the acknowledgement lets the company know they are on the right track.
“We're thrilled to be receiving this recognition again, especially since the results are based on employee feedback,” Salmans said. “We’re committed to providing an inclusive workplace where everyone feels welcome and valued, and we continually look for ways we can empower each employee to achieve her or his fullest potential.”
Here are some of the companies in the housing space that made the cut:
