REDMOND, Ore. — Hayden Homes recently received two of the nation’s top honors for construction and mid-sized workplaces from Fortune magazine and the website Great Place To Work, according to an announcement from Hayden Homes.
In the October 2024 issue of Fortune, Hayden Homes is included as a top 10 finalist on the 2024 Fortune Best Workplaces in Construction List, as well as a top 100 finalist on the 2024 Fortune Best Medium Workplaces List, according to the announcement.
Earning a spot on these lists means that Hayden Homes is one of the best companies to work for in the country.
“We are so grateful to our team members who have truly embraced our Give As You Go philosophy,” Patti Murphy, vice president of employee experience at Hayden Homes, wrote in the announcement. “Together we are building a strong community where we all lead fulfilled lives. We celebrate and thank our team members for all they do — we share these incredible honors with them.”
Hayden Homes has built 12 neighborhoods in Moses Lake since 1994. The most recent is Polo Ridge, located on Paxson Drive in the north side of Moses Lake.
Both lists are highly competitive, according to the announcement. Great Place To Work, the global authority on workplace culture, evaluates and certifies thousands of organizations in America’s largest ongoing annual workforce study, based more than 1.3 million survey responses and data from companies representing more than 8.2 million employees this year alone. 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.
“Some of the strongest work cultures we measure every year come from companies with relatively small headcounts,” Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work, wrote in the announcement. “Companies that make these highly competitive lists offer the care and support found at companies 10 times their size.”
Hayden Homes has received more than 25 top honors in the past five years for its leadership in employee experience and engagement, according to the announcement. The company is frequently rated as a top 10 Best Company to Work For by Oregon Business Magazine, Washington Business Magazine and Best Places to Work Idaho.
