Des Moines, IA — September 14, 2023 – Great Place To Work® and Fortune have selected BH Management Services (BH) for the 2023 Fortune Best Workplaces in Real Estate™. This is BH’s second time being named to this prestigious list, this year coming in at 6th place. Earning a spot means that BH is one of the best companies to work for in the country.
The Best Workplaces in Real Estate award is based on an analysis of survey responses from over 27,000 employees from Great Place To Work Certified™ companies in the real estate industry.
“We are so grateful for our wildly awesome employees who have made us a part of this list for the past two years,” Joanna Zabriskie, President & CEO, said. “BH is in the business of putting people first, both in our communities and at work, and this award honors that commitment.”
The Best Workplaces in Real Estate 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 7.5 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 identifier.
“Congratulations to the Best Workplaces in Real Estate,” says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work. “These companies know that it isn’t the industry — but the company — that determines the employee experience. By putting people first, they are reaping the rewards: higher levels of performance, innovation, and customer experience.”
“Fortune congratulates the Best Workplaces in Real Estate,” says Fortune Editor-in-Chief Alyson Shontell. “Creating a vibrant workplace culture that draws the best talent in real estate is vital for the success of the leaders in this highly competitive industry.
