LAS VEGAS, Feb. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- AMH (NYSE: AMH), a leading single-family rental owner-operator and top U.S. homebuilder, today announced that it has been Certified™ for the second year in a row by Great Place to Work®, the global authority on workplace culture, as one of the nation's top employers in 2023.
The prestigious award is based on responses by employees to an anonymous third-party survey distributed company-wide. The survey revealed that 86% of participating employees said that AMH is a great place to work, compared to 57% of employees at a typical U.S.-based company. Approximately 90% of employees responded that they are made to feel welcome when joining the company, are given the resources and equipment to do their job and find that management is honest and ethical in its business practices.
"We're honored that our employees named AMH a great place to work," said David Singelyn, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of AMH. "We're cultivating a people-first workplace culture focused on doing the right thing for our residents, shareholders and one another. This recognition—based on the feedback of our team members—demonstrates that our people are what make this company great."
According to Great Place to Work research, job seekers are 4.5 times more likely to find a great boss at a Certified great workplace. Additionally, employees at Certified workplaces are 93% more likely to look forward to coming to work, and are twice as likely to be paid fairly, earn a fair share of the company's profits and have a fair chance at promotion.
"One of our core company values is caring about people. And that means caring for each other first, so that we can take care of the residents we serve," said Lisa Phelps, Senior Vice President of Human Resources of AMH. "We thank all our team members for taking the time to participate in the survey, allowing us to earn this certification as one of the nation's best workplaces. They're helping us to build a culture of trust, inclusion and belonging."
AMH employee benefits include a Tuition Reimbursement Program, Employee Stock Purchase Program, Employee Resource Groups and other initiatives in support of talent development and employee engagement. To evaluate their satisfaction, the company also utilizes Workday Peakon Employee Survey, through which team members can anonymously submit ongoing feedback regarding their workplace experience.
"Great Place to Work Certification™ isn't something that comes easily – it takes ongoing dedication to the employee experience," said Sarah Lewis-Kulin, vice president of global recognition at Great Place to Work. "It's the only official recognition determined by employees' real-time reports of their company culture. Earning this designation means that AMH is one of the best companies to work for in the country."
