Best Workplaces in Real Estate

Venterra has been named one of the Great Place to Work® Institute‘s 2022 Best Workplaces in Real Estate, as published by FORTUNE©. We were ranked #12 based on an analysis of survey responses from more than 23,000 team members from Great Place to Work-Certified™ companies in the real estate industry. Our annual Great Place to Work survey showed that 92% of Venterra colleagues feel Venterra is a great place to work. A number 35% higher than the average U.S. company, this positive feedback provided Venterra the opportunity to be considered for this selective recognition.

100 Best Medium Workplaces

We are proud that Venterra has received the Great Place to Work® Institute Award, honoring the Best Medium Workplaces in 2021! We are #29 in the medium company category (all participating U.S. companies between 100 and 999 employees.) This was the sixth year in a row that Venterra won this prestigious accolade. Venterra received this great recognition based on the feedback employees provided in our 12th Annual Employee Satisfaction Survey, in which 92% of responding employees said Venterra is a great workplace, resulting in us becoming “Certified” by Great Place to Work® Institute and eligible to be a winner of the award.

The results from the survey, which included 30,000 Canadian employees, representing a half million individuals employed at over 600 companies, led to our Canada office becoming “Certified” by Great Place to Work® Institute and eligible to be consideration for the recognition.

Best Workplaces for Inclusion

Our Canada team member’s second Great Place to Work® survey  results placed Venterra on Great Place to Work® Canada‘s 2022 Best Workplaces for Inclusion list! Earning the designation requires “Certified” status in the past year and and at least 90% of team members must agree they are treated fairly regardless of personal characteristics (such as gender, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation). Great Place to Work determined the BEST based on employee responses to inclusion-related Trust Index statements.

Best Workplaces for Today’s Youth

Results from our Canada team member’s first Great Place to Work® survey earned the office a spot on the 2022 Best Workplaces for Today’s Youth, by Great Place to Work Canada! In addition to survey strong enough to met “Certified” status and having 30% of the team to fall into the Millennial or younger demographic, the recognition required a minimum of a 90% positive response to the statement “I am treated fairly regardless of my age.” In the case of Venterra’s Canadian team members, a full 96% of participating team members agreed with the statement.

innovation velocity ratio

We are pleased to share that Venterra employees helped rank Venterra’s innovation in the top 6% of the thousands of companies that participate in the Great Place to Work Institute’s annual anonymous employee survey. In the survey, an Innovation Velocity Ratio (IVR) is calculated based off of employee responses, with companies receiving an IVR ratio of 11:2 or higher defined as being in an “Accelerated” state. Venterra Realty received an IVR of 15:2, meaning for every 15 Venterra employees willing and able to innovate, there are only two who are not. This unusually high ratio highlights Venterra’s ability to quickly harness, mobilize and response to new information and ideas.
