Great Place to Work® and FORTUNE Name VENTERRA RE

HOUSTON, Oct. 17, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- At Venterra Realty, our growth wouldn’t be possible without the dedication of our employees. We’re proud of our team, and we’re also excited to announce our organization has been named one of the 2017 Best Small & Medium Workplaces by Great Place to Work and FORTUNE.

This ranking considered 74,000 surveys from employees at hundreds of businesses in all sectors of the economy. Venterra Realty earned a spot on this list based on co-workers’ assessment of the camaraderie, leadership, fairness, rewards and career opportunities enjoyed by all in their workplace. Venterra Realty ranked #48 among the winning medium organizations.

"This success has only been possible by having caring, dedicated and passionate employees who believe in the Venterra vision and bring it to life every day. I feel incredibly privileged and thankful to work with such an amazing group of employees who get up every day focused on making Venterra a better place to live and work," said Richard Roos, Venterra Realty COO.

Outstanding small and mid-sized employers – as identified by their employees – are substantially more likely to report work experiences linked to retention, innovation and good customer service, according to research by Great Place to Work. The winning organizations also are more likely than their peers to maintain a healthy organizational culture as they grow larger and more complex.

"The Best Small & Medium workplaces are laying the groundwork for future success by building trust, cooperation and leadership credibility. All of these enhance business performance and create a positive environment for doing business,” said Michael Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work.

The Best Small & Medium Workplaces is one of a series of rankings by Great Place to Work and FORTUNE based on research into employee feedback from Great Place to Work-Certified™ organizations. Venterra Realty also was ranked as a Best Medium Workplace for 2016 by Great Place to Work and FORTUNE.
