Ashton Woods Homes Named Atlanta’s Best Place to Work

Ashton Woods Homes, one of the nation’s largest private home building companies, was recently named a “Best Place to Work” by Atlanta Business Chronicle. The home builder, with its corporate office in Atlanta, earned the No. 1 ranking of medium-sized companies. The award was bestowed on both the Corporate and Atlanta Division offices.

To achieve the top ranking, Ashton Woods Homes’ employees first nominated the company and then participated in an independent survey by Quantum Workplace. The survey covered various employer attributes, including people practices and work environment, and the rankings were based solely on the voices of the employees and the data collected by Quantum.

A sample comment from the survey stated, “The senior management here is the best I have seen in all my years working in corporate America. They are not afraid to make big, bold moves to constantly keep ahead of the competition.”
