FORT MITCHELL, KY. — Great Place To Work® and Fortune magazine have honored Drees Homes as one of the 2024 Best Workplaces for Millennials. This is Drees Homes’ first time being named to this prestigious list. Earning a spot means that Drees Homes has surpassed rigorous benchmarks, establishing itself as one of the best companies to work for in the country.
To determine the Fortune Best Workplaces for Millennials™ List, Great Place To Work collected nearly 510,000 responses from millennials at companies eligible for the list. To be considered, companies had to be Great Place To Work Certified™ and have at least 50 millennial employees in the U.S.
Drees Homes Vice President of Human Resources Pamela Rader shared, “We were absolutely thrilled to receive this news and are honored to be designated as a great place to work for Millennials.” She noted, “For over 95 years, our company has taken immense pride in fostering an exceptional workplace environment. This success is owed to our dedicated team members, spanning a variety of ages, who work together, ensuring that our shared milestones are celebrated and that our workplace remains a special place for everyone. This positive environment, in turn, leads to an outstanding experience for our customers."
The Best Workplaces for Millennials list is highly competitive. Survey responses reflect a comprehensive picture of the workplace experience. Honorees were selected based on their ability to offer positive outcomes for millennial employees regardless of job role, race, gender, sexual orientation, work status, or other demographic identifier.
“Millennials are the largest generation in the workforce, and their experience is a strong indicator of overall company health,” says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work®. “These workers demand what every great workplace should provide: credible leadership, meaningful work, and a respectful, fair place to do their jobs.”
“Congratulations to all of the Best Workplaces for Millennials finalists,” says Matt Heimer, executive editor for features at Fortune. “The expectations of this age cohort are setting a high bar for employers. Millennials place an unusually high priority on purpose-driven work and an equitable workplace. These companies are in step with these expectations, and they’re setting themselves up for continued success by committing to workplaces and environments that attract this pivotal generation of business talent.”
Drees Homes first became certified as a Great Place To Work in 2023 and was also ranked #8 on the Fortune Best Workplaces in Construction list last year.
