PropertyForce Named One of the 2022 Best Workplaces in Real Estate™, Ranking #9 by Great Place to Work® and Fortune

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. — Great Place to Work® and Fortune have honored PropertyForce as one of the 2022 Best Workplaces in Real Estate™. This is PropertyForce’s first time being named to this prestigious list, this year coming in at 9th place. Earning a spot means that PropertyForce is one of the best companies to work for in the country.

The Best Workplaces in Real Estate award is based on analysis of survey responses from over 23,000 employees from Great Place to Work-Certified™ companies in the real estate industry. In that survey, 100% of PropertyForce’s employees said PropertyForce is a great place to work. This number is 43 points higher than the average U.S. company.

“This recognition is a testament to our culture which really defines all that we do,” said Neil Solomon, President and CEO of PropertyForce. “Our commitment to excellence in our industry stems from that same commitment to our employees. Building trust, giving sincere recognition and helping employees achieve a greater work-life balance are our priorities, not just aspirations.”

The Best Workplaces in Real Estate is highly competitive. Great Place to Work, the global authority on workplace culture, selected the list using rigorous analytics and confidential employee feedback. Companies were only considered if they had been a Great Place to Work-Certified™ organization.

Great Place to Work is the only company culture award in America that selects winners based on how fairly employees are treated. Companies are assessed on how well they are creating a great employee experience that cuts across race, gender, age, disability status, or any aspect of who employees are or what their role is.

“These companies have adapted to the challenges of an ever-changing workplace by their commitment to inclusive, high-trust cultures where employees are treated as human beings first and foremost,” says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work. “Congratulations to the Best Workplaces in Real Estate.”

Earlier this year, PropertyForce was named one of the Best Small Workplaces and was certified as a Great Place to Work.
