September 7, 2022 -- AUSTIN, Texas. Great Place to Work® and Fortune have honored American Campus Communities (ACC) as one of the 2022 Best Workplaces in Real Estate™, Coming in at 18th place, this is the company’s first time being named to this prestigious inaugural list.
The Best Workplaces in Real Estate award is based on an analysis of survey responses from over 23,000 employees from Great Place to Work-Certified™ companies in the real estate industry. In that survey, 92% of ACC’s employees said the company is a great place to work, which is 35 points higher than the average U.S. company.
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,” said Michael C. Bush, CEO, Great Place to Work. “Congratulations to the Best Workplaces in Real Estate.”
ACC has also been named by both Newsweek and Forbes as one of America’s most trustworthy companies, and CEO Bill Bayless was named a 2021 Best Boss by Globe St. Real Estate Awards. The company was recognized by Multi-Housing News as the 2021 Property Management Company of the Year-Silver and Best New Development & Design in Student Housing.
