Venterra Realty has once again proven that workplace culture can be a competitive edge. The company has been named one of Fortune’s 2025 Best Medium Workplaces™, marking its eighth appearance on the prestigious list compiled with the Great Place To Work® Institute.
The award is no small feat. This year’s list drew from the survey responses of over 228,000 employees at companies with between 100 and 999 U.S. employees. In total, the annual Great Place To Work study analyzed more than 1.3 million responses, representing 8.4 million employees across industries.
“Reaching our 8th year on this list is an incredible honor,” said CEO John Foresi. Chairman Andrew Stewart echoed the sentiment, emphasizing that the recognition reflects both the company’s values and its investment in creating a culture where employees can thrive personally and professionally.
Why It Matters
While large enterprises often dominate headlines around workplace perks and culture, the Best Medium Workplaces list highlights how smaller organizations can still punch above their weight in talent retention and employee engagement. According to Great Place To Work® CEO Michael C. Bush, medium-sized companies can actually leverage their size as an advantage—building tighter-knit cultures where employees feel recognized and rewarded.
For Venterra, this recognition stacks on top of other accolades, including a spot on the 2025 Best Workplaces in Texas™ list. It’s also a signal to both prospective employees and industry peers that the company’s culture isn’t just branding—it’s been validated year after year in one of the most competitive workplace studies around.
The Bigger Picture
Workplace culture has become a defining factor in the war for talent, especially as hybrid and flexible work expectations reshape the employee experience. Lists like Fortune’s offer more than bragging rights—they serve as recruiting magnets, bolstering employer brand in industries where competition for skilled workers is fierce.
For Venterra Realty, staying on this list eight times running suggests that the company has found a formula that works: keep employees engaged, stay true to core values, and build on a culture that resonates beyond the HR department.
