Houston Chronicle Awards Legend Homes and Camillo Properties with Place on 2022 Top Workplaces Ranking

In November 2022, the Houston Chronicle named Legend Homes and Camillo Properties to its 2022 Top Workplaces list, marking the fourth straight year for the homebuilder and the third straight year for the build-to-rent company to be recognized in the coveted ranking. 

 

“This recognition is meaningful because it is based entirely on feedback from our team,” Camillo Companies CEO Margaret Potter said. “We believe we’re in this position because we have listened to our team year after year.” 


Each year, the Houston Chronicle recognizes organizations that received the highest employee feedback scores on culture, benefits, leadership style, environment, and other key factors. The newspaper partners with Energage – an employee survey company – to deliver a 24-question survey to employees at area companies. 


Organizations are sorted into small, medium, and large categories. Organizations were named to the list if they exceeded benchmark scores within each of these size groups. More than 68,000 employees responded to the survey in 2022, with 200 employers making the Top Workplaces list out of 4,974 companies invited to participate. 


Legend Homes first made the Top Workplaces list in 2019 while Camillo Properties made its debut in 2020. Both companies operate under the Camillo Companies family of brands. 



“Becoming a Top Workplace is a continuous journey of listening to all feedback and striving to improve each year,” Potter said. “We’ll continue to listen to our team’s feedback and use it to get even better.”
