HOUSTON – Transwestern announces it has been named to the 2026 Fortune Best Workplaces for Women™, ranking No. 62 among large companies nationwide. The recognition marks the firm's third appearance on the list and reflects its continued commitment to creating an environment where women can build meaningful, successful careers in commercial real estate.
The honor follows Transwestern's recent recognition as the No. 4 Best Workplace in Real Estate and No. 9 Best Workplace in Texas by Fortune and Great Place To Work®.
“Women have made tremendous strides in commercial real estate, but there is still work to be done in expanding opportunities for leadership and career advancement,” said Allison Allen, Chief Human Resources Officer at Transwestern. “At Transwestern, we're intentional about providing the mentorship, resources and flexibility that help women succeed at every stage of their careers. This recognition is especially meaningful because it reflects the experiences of our own team members.”
Transwestern supports professional growth for its team members through targeted development programs, mentorship and industry engagement. Its SOAR program provides dedicated development opportunities for women in brokerage, while the firm's involvement with Commercial Real Estate Women (CREW) Network supports industrywide mentorship, professional connections and leadership development. The firm also continues to enhance benefits that support team members through different stages of life and career. Recent improvements to paid parental leave provide additional support for mothers and adoptive parents, alongside comprehensive healthcare, generous paid time off, caregiver resources, wellness initiatives and flexible support for growing families.
The Best Workplaces for Women list is highly competitive. To determine the Best Workplaces for Women, Great Place To Work analyzed the survey responses of over 640,000 women who work for Great Place To Work Certified™ companies that were eligible for the list.
“Companies that create great experiences for women are companies that create better experiences for every employee,” says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work. “When a company can show that anyone can build a career and do their life’s work, that company is more resilient. These companies are built for the future because they invest in the future of their people.”
