Homeowners Financial Group is thrilled to share that we were named a 2024 Best Mortgage Company to Work For! Special thanks go out to National Mortgage News, Best Companies Group, and our employees for enabling us to rank in the top 10 for the fifth time.
While in service industries like mortgage lending a lot of attention is paid to providing a strong customer experience, many of this year’s Best Mortgage Companies to Work for put an emphasis on employee engagement – especially important after issues around profitability and capacity resulted in massive consolidation during 2023 and to this day. Those conditions contributed to just 33 companies appearing on this year’s listing, as opposed to 48 for 2023.
To arrive at the ranking, National Mortgage News and Best Companies Group conducted extensive employee surveys and reviewed employer reports on benefits and policies. The employee survey covered eight topics: leadership and planning; corporate culture and communications; role satisfaction; work environment; relationship with supervisor; training, development and resources; pay and benefits; and overall engagement.
Once the survey data was analyzed, the companies received a score that decided their ranking. The overall score was calculated using the employee survey (weighed at 75%) and the employer questionnaire (25%). To qualify for consideration, organizations with 25 or more employees needed a minimum response rate of 40% while companies with 25 or fewer employees need 80%.
The survey addressed several topics, including overall engagement the staff had with the management of the companies that employed them. The positive response rate to the statement, “I am willing to give extra effort to help this organization succeed” was 97% for lenders of all sizes that made the list.
Earning this award is always a special accomplishment for us, as it reflects the “how” of our company Culture: we value people as our greatest asset and we win through their victories, their achievements, and their successes.
“I am thankful for each and every one of our employees who contribute to the success of the company,” said Bill Rogers, our President & CEO. “With our 20th anniversary quickly approaching, I am grateful to be surrounded by people who care about one another, their communities, and their clients. I thank them for choosing Homeowners to be their work home, for giving 110% every day, and for making Homeowners such a special place to be.”
