Florida Realtors has been recognized once again in the "100 Best Companies To Work For In Florida" list. CEO Margy Grant remarked, “Creating a culture of trust and empowerment is an everyday process. Here at Florida Realtors, we invite our employees into the discussion for our mission to be the ‘Voice for Real Estate in Florida’ – they’re as important to our brand as any of our products, tools or services.”
The organization employs 149 people across its headquarters in Orlando and a public policy office in Tallahassee. As the state Realtor association, it provides various programs, services, continuing education, research, and legislative representation to 238,000 members across 51 local Realtor boards and associations.
To qualify for the “Best Companies To Work For In Florida” program, entities must have at least 15 workers in Florida and be operational for a minimum of one year. Participants undergo an evaluation of workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems, and demographics. The process also includes a survey measuring employee satisfaction on nine themes: general employee experience; role satisfaction; communication and workplace culture; supervisor relationship; training, technology and development; diversity and inclusion; leadership; benefits; and work-life balance.
Scores from these evaluations determined the top companies featured in Florida Trend’s 2024 “Best Companies To Work For” special issue. David Denor, Publisher of Florida Trend stated, “Innovative, inspirational and visionaries ... these Florida companies continue to set trends for others to follow. This group of impressive companies continues to recruit, retain and deliver unique workplace environments for their employees and clients alike. The ‘Best Companies To Work For In Florida’ are risk takers that provide us with a glimpse of what tomorrow’s workforce and workplace environments could look like.”
The program is managed by Florida Trend and Workforce Research Group with endorsement from the HR Florida State Council. Workforce Research Group handled registration, surveys, analysis, and final rankings.
