Fort Mitchell, Ky. — Great Place To Work® and Fortune magazine have selected Drees Homes for the 2024 Fortune Best Medium Workplaces™ List. This is Drees Homes’ first time being named to this prestigious list, coming in at No. 47 nationwide. Earning a spot means that Drees Homes is one of the best companies to work for in the country.
To determine the Best Medium Workplaces list, Great Place To Work analyzed the survey responses of over 213,000 employees from Great Place To Work Certified™ companies with between 100 and 999 U.S. employees.
Drees Homes Vice President of Human Resources Pamela Rader shared, “We are truly honored to be recognized on this year’s list, placing among the top 50 medium-sized companies nationwide. Our pride in our culture is immense, and we are committed to fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment. Here, employees have the chance to develop fulfilling careers while helping families across the country achieve their dream homes.”
The Best Medium Workplaces 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.
“Some of the strongest work cultures we measure every year come from companies with relatively small headcounts,” says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work. “Companies that make this highly competitive list offer the care and support found at companies 10 times their size.”
Drees Homes first became certified as a Great Place To Work in 2023. Since then, Drees has also appeared on the Fortune Best Workplaces in Construction and Best Workplaces for Millennials lists.
