HOUSTON – Great Place To Work® and Fortune magazine have honored Transwestern as one of the 2023 Best Workplaces for Millennials. This is Transwestern’s sixth time being named to this prestigious list, coming in at No. 82. Earning a spot means that Transwestern has surpassed rigorous benchmarks, establishing itself as one of the best companies to work for in the country. The recognition comes on the heels of the firm being named the No. 12 Best Workplace in Texas earlier this month.
To determine the Fortune Best Workplaces for Millennials™ List, Great Place To Work collected nearly 500,000 responses from millennials at companies eligible for the list. To be considered, companies had to be Great Place To Work Certified™ and have at least 50 millennial employees in the U.S.
“Transwestern strives to create a work environment that charts career path development and emphasizes personal growth, innovation and teamwork,” said Larry P. Heard, CEO of Transwestern. “Our younger professionals provide thoughtful input and instructive perspectives, and we are proud to support them in serving our clients and advancing their careers. This award is a testament to the value we place on their continued contributions.”
Transwestern promotes collaboration and skills development among its young team members through Young Professionals groups in 14 markets. These groups encourage team members to share expertise and new ideas across service lines and geographies and provide opportunities for young professionals to learn from the company’s veterans through special speaker events. Additionally, Transwestern hosts holiday parties, philanthropic outreach, wellness activities, one-on-one mentoring and paid training and skills development courses.
The Best Workplaces for Millennials list is highly competitive. 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.
“With the largest share of the workforce today, the workplace experience of millennials says a lot about your organization,” says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work. “These workers are looking for authentic leadership, meaningful work, and a healthy work environment — and they show loyalty to those who can deliver.”
“Congratulations to all of the Best Workplaces for Millennials finalists,” says Fortune Editor-in-Chief Alyson Shontell. “These companies are setting themselves up for continued success by committing to the purpose-driven work that attracts the next generation of business talent.”
