Fortune Magazine and Great Place to Work Name American Campus Communities 2023 a Fortune Best Workplace in Real Estate for Second Year In a Row

[AUSTIN, TEXAS] SEPTEMBER 15, 2023 - Great Place To Work and Fortune magazine have named American Campus Communities (ACC) as a Best Workplace in Real Estate for 2023. 
 
Fortune Best Workplaces in Real Estate™ List is based on analysis of survey responses from over 27,000 employees from Great Place To Work Certified™ companies in the real estate industry. This marks the second year exceptional workplaces have been recognized in the real estate industry, and survey responses from ACC team members put the company on the prestigious and highly competitive list again this year.
 
"At American Campus Communities, we prioritize the professional and personal success of our team members so they can do the same to ensure the personal and academic success of the students who choose to live with us," said Lonnie Ledbetter, Chief Purpose and Inclusion Officer at ACC. “This honor is a testament to how we live out our mission, values, and culture at work while also prioritizing time for experiencing life outside of work.”

Great Place To Work, the global authority on workplace culture, determines its lists using its proprietary For All™ Methodology to evaluate and certify thousands of organizations in America's largest ongoing annual workforce study, based on over 1.3 million survey responses and data from companies representing more than 7.5 million employees this year alone. Survey respondents from American Campus share that half-day Fridays are unbeatable, that they love the work/life balance, and the frequent additional days off throughout the year, usually around holidays, because it makes scheduling the rest of their lives so much easier. 

Survey responses reflect a comprehensive picture of the workplace experience. Honorees were selected based on their ability to offer positive outcomes for employees regardless of job role, race, gender, sexual orientation, work status, or other demographic identifier.

Congratulations to the Best Workplaces in Real Estate," says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work. "These companies know that it isn't the industry — but the company — that determines the employee experience. By putting people first, they are reaping the rewards: higher levels of performance, innovation, and customer experience."

"Fortune congratulates the Best Workplaces in Real Estate," says Fortune Editor-in-Chief Alyson Shontell. "Creating a vibrant workplace culture that draws the best talent in real estate is vital for the success of the leaders in this highly competitive industry."
