Fortune Names Transwestern a Best Workplace for Millennials for the Second Year

Transwestern today announces Great Place to Work® and Fortune have named the firm one of the “100 Best Workplaces for Millennials” for the second year. Transwestern, the only third-party, full-service commercial real estate firm to be recognized, was ranked No. 38. The award comes on the heels of being recognized by the same organizations as a Best Workplace for Women for the second consecutive year, a Best Workplace in Texas and a Best Workplace in Chicago.

“Transwestern is intentional in creating a work environment that emphasizes personal empowerment, innovation and teamwork,” said Chip Clarke, Transwestern’s President │ Americas. “We encourage all of our team members, including our youngest professionals, to provide their thoughtful input and leadership. This award is a testament to the value we place on their contributions.”

Transwestern promotes teamwork and skills development among its young team members through Young Professionals groups in its major offices. These groups encourage team members to collaborate across service lines and departments and provide opportunities for young professionals to learn from Transwestern veterans through special speaker events. Additionally, Transwestern hosts holiday parties, year-round social events, wellness activities, one-on-one mentoring and paid training and skills development courses.

The ranking considered 398,000 surveys that assessed organizations’ fairness, teamwork, benefits and other elements essential to an outstanding work culture. While many companies report high turnover among younger workers, an average of 85 percent of millennial front-line employees at the Best Workplaces say they want to work at their organizations for a long time.

"Millennials expect more from their employers in areas like fair treatment, clear communication, authentic leadership and opportunities for advancement – and rightly so. The Best Workplaces for Millennials are finding that fulfilling all these expectations by building a high-trust culture boosts millennial employees’ intent to stay by 20 times,” said Michael Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work.

The Best Workplaces for Millennials is one of a series of rankings by Great Place to Work and Fortune based on employee feedback from Great Place to Work–Certified™ organizations.
