Fogelman Properties (“Fogelman”), one of the country’s largest privately-owned multifamily firms, is pleased to announce that it was named as Newsweek's 2023 Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces®. The annual list recognizes companies that have created a workplace where employees feel respected, inspired and appreciated and are at the center of the business model. 

In collaboration with the Best Practice Institute (BPI), a leadership development and benchmark research company, the rankings were determined after surveying more than two million employees from businesses with workforces varying in size from 50 to more than 100,000.  

“We are incredibly honored to be recognized on the coveted Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces® list.  It is especially meaningful during our 60th anniversary and underscores our dedication to creating a workplace where team members thrive,” says Mark Fogelman, president of Fogelman. “We attribute the ranking to our collaborative culture, experienced team and unwavering commitment to excellence.” 

Since 1963, the company has evolved from a local Memphis family-owned business to a leader in multifamily with more than 100 communities and 650 associates across 13 states in the Southeast, Southwest and Midwest. Fogelman has a trusted team of tenured experts with its leadership team averaging 20+ years in multifamily, and more than a decade of dedicated service at Fogelman. Today, Fogelman operates a portfolio of more than 30,000 apartment homes and more than $4.5B in asset value.

The key areas included in the analysis are based on how well companies demonstrate the areas within the Spark Model as defined by BPI including Systemic Collaboration, Positive Vision of the Future, Alignment of values, Respect and Killer Achievement. Employee sentiments and emotions indicating how engaged employees are, how positive they feel about their workplace and how committed they are to the organization’s success were analyzed to identify the Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces®. 

“Fully understanding and acting upon employee sentiment, emotion and recommendations continues to be a challenge and top priority of executive leadership,” said Louis Carter, CEO of Best Practice Institute. “The companies on this list have committed to listening carefully to their employees to create a workplace employees love.”

“With the rapidly changing workplace and competition for top talent, more companies are recognizing the importance of employee engagement and commitment,” said Nancy Cooper, Global Editor in Chief, Newsweek. “The workplaces that have demonstrated a commitment to their employees in 2023 are more likely to attract the best talent and deliver strong business outcomes.”
