THE BOZZUTO GROUP MAKES LIST OF THE “BEST PLACES TO WORK”
IN THE GREATER WASHINGTON REGION

 

The Bozzuto Group has been recognized as one of the “Best Places to Work” in the greater Washington region by the Washington Business Journal.

The publication honored the area’s 50 best at a special awards program held June 10th. More than 650 attended the event that celebrated the companies’ achievements in “creating a positive work environment that attracts and retains employees through a combination of employee satisfaction, working conditions and company culture.”

The publication launched its search for the Best Places to Work in February with an invitation to employees throughout the region to nominate their companies. More than 230 companies were nominated, representing virtually every business sector. Employees from each of the nominated companies were then asked to participate in an online satisfaction survey. The quantitative questions explored opinions about the organization, managers, co-workers, and jobs. Participants were also invited to enter general comments anonymously.

Results were tallied and companies were judged in four categories: “Small” companies; “Medium” companies; “Large, locally-based” organizations, and “Large, non-local headquarters.”

The top 50 overall were then named: ten companies were recognized in the small and medium categories; 15 in each of the two “larger” groups. The Bozzuto Group was one of 15 “locally-based large companies.” All of the organizations were profiled in a special supplement in the June 10th edition of the Washington Business Journal.

“We have received a number of wonderful honors over the years,” said Tom Bozzuto, CEO of The Bozzuto Group, “but to have created a company that has inspired such a high level of satisfaction among our people is especially meaningful for John Slidell, Rick Mostyn and me.

“Our employees are the best in the business and we truly appreciate this exceptional honor.”

The Washington Business Journal has been providing Greater Washington readers with business news and information for more than 20 years. Each week, more than 150,000 business executives rely on the Business Journal for comprehensive news on local people and their companies.

Headquartered in Greenbelt, Maryland, The Bozzuto Group is a full-service real estate company active in development, management, construction, homebuilding, and landscaping. The firm, its principals and subsidiaries have been recognized with numerous industry honors, including the national Pillars of the Industry Award for Multifamily Development Company of the Year (2003), Property Management Company of the Year (2000) and Multifamily Builder of the Year (1998). Regional honors include Builder of the Year (five times), Environmental Builder of the Year and Environmental Developer of the Year.
