Fort Mitchell, Ky. — Great Place To Work® and Fortune have selected Drees Homes for the 2025 Fortune Best Workplaces for Women™. This is Drees Homes’ first time being named to this prestigious list, coming in at 47th place in the small and medium category. Earning a spot means that Drees Homes is one of the best companies to work for in the country.
To determine the Best Workplaces for Women, Great Place To Work analyzed the survey responses of nearly 605,000 women who work for Great Place To Work Certified™ companies that were eligible for the list. To be considered, a company must employ at least 50 women, have at least 20% of non-executive managers who are women, and have at least one female C-suite executive.
Drees Homes Vice President of Human Resources Pamela Rader shared, “Being named one of the Best Workplaces for Women is a reflection of our ongoing commitment to fostering a culture where everyone can thrive. In an industry that has traditionally been male-dominated, Drees stands out for valuing every voice and living out our core values each day. We’re proud to be a place where all employees, regardless of gender or background, feel supported and empowered to grow.”
The Best Workplaces for Women 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 women regardless of job role, race, sexual orientation, work status, or other demographic identifier.
Great Place To Work measured the experience of women at participating companies and compared those results to their peers within the organization. The best companies create great work experiences for all women, from the frontline to the C-Suite.
“Congratulations to the Fortune Best Workplaces for Women,” says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work. “These companies show that when women thrive in the workplace, everybody else does too. That’s what it means to be a For All company, where the expectation is that every employee can have a great experience and reach their full potential.”
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, Best Medium Workplaces and Best Workplaces for Millennials lists.
