Fort Mitchell, Ky. — Great Place To Work® and Fortune have selected Drees Homes for the 2024 Fortune Best Workplaces in Construction™ List. This is Drees Homes’ second time being named to this prestigious list, this year coming in at 4th place in the small and medium company category. Earning a spot means that Drees Homes is one of the best companies to work for in the country.
The Best Workplaces in Construction award is based on analysis of survey responses from over 43,000 employees at Great Place To Work Certified™ companies in the construction industry.
Drees Homes Vice President of Human Resources Pamela Rader shared, "Being recognized as one of the best workplaces in construction for the second time is a testament to our unmatched culture and the incredible talent and dedication of our employees. Together, we continue to build not just homes, but a caring culture centered around its people. This achievement reflects our unwavering commitment to delivering memorable experiences and exceptional homes our customers love. Congratulations to everyone for making Drees truly a great place to work!"
The Best Workplaces in Construction list is highly competitive. Great Place To Work, the global authority on workplace culture, determines its lists using its proprietary For All™ Methodology to evaluate and certify thousands of organizations in America’s largest ongoing annual workforce study, based on over 1.3 million survey responses and data from companies representing more than 8.2 million employees this year alone.
Survey responses reflect a comprehensive picture of the workplace experience. Honorees were selected based on their ability to offer positive outcomes for employees regardless of job role, race, gender, sexual orientation, work status or other demographic identifiers.
“Congratulations to the Best Workplaces in Construction,” says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work. “These companies not only outperform the average for their industry but have created workplaces that outshine the average in every category, proving the importance of building trust with workers, no matter the industry.”
