Venterra Realty Named on the 2024 PEOPLE Companies That Care List

HOUSTON, Aug. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Great Place To Work^® and PEOPLE magazine have recognized Venterra Realty as one of the 2024 PEOPLE Companies That Care^®. This is the second consecutive year Venterra has been named on this prestigious list.

The PEOPLE Companies That Care list is based on over 1.3 million employee survey responses and data from companies representing the experience of more than 8.2 million employees. Of those surveys, more than a million came from employees at companies eligible for this year's list and the rankings are based on that feedback.

Companies also submit essays which are validated by employee survey data to give a complete picture of the way an organization cares for its employees, its community, and the planet. To be considered for the list, companies must be Great Place To Work Certified™ and have at least 10 U.S. employees.

"We are incredibly proud to be recognized on this list dedicated to recognizing companies that care, for a second year in a row," said Venterra CEO, John Foresi. "Our team's enthusiasm in positively impacting our community and supporting one another is truly inspiring. Such acknowledgments motivate us to continue our efforts in ensuring a supportive and caring environment for everyone."

"By fostering an environment where everyone feels valued and supported, we are able to achieve remarkable results and make a meaningful impact," said Andrew Stewart, Venterra Chairman. "Our employees have transformed the concept of a Culture of Care into a tangible, real-life culture that drives our growth and innovation. We couldn't be more proud and grateful for the unwavering commitment of our colleagues and the profound difference they make every day."

The Companies That Care 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 employees regardless of job role, race, gender, sexual orientation, work status, or other demographic identifier.

"What these companies prove is that taking care of your workforce is an investment — not a cost," says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work. "And companies that do it the right way will reap the benefits: more engagement, faster innovation, and a healthy bottom line."

"Each year, we look forward to highlighting the innovative ways these companies give back to their employees, communities and the world," says Wendy Naugle, PEOPLE editor-in-chief. "Celebrating the care and kindness they show is a natural extension of our editorial mission—to show what's possible when ordinary people commit to extraordinary endeavors."
