Buildertrend Earns 2023 Great Place to Work Certification™  

OMAHA, Neb. (May 9, 2023) – Buildertrend is proud be Certified™ by Great Place to Work®, furthering its legacy as a people-first workplace. The company is honored to earn this national ranking with Great Place to Work® as a first-time applicant. 

Great Place to Work® is the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience, and leadership behaviors proven to deliver market-leading revenue, employee retention and increased innovation.  

Earning this designation was entirely determined by what Buildertrend’s people had to say about their employee experience. Overall, 94 percent of respondents said that Buildertrend is a great place to work – 37 points higher than the average U.S. company.  

Of Buildertrend’s respondents, 98 percent agreed that the company’s culture is welcoming. Additionally, 96 percent reported that they enjoy their colleagues, sense they can be themselves, and can count on each other and feel supported.

“We’ve always strived for Buildertrend to be a place where our people can be who they are, love what they do and make an impact for our customers, communities and each other,” said Brandy Menaugh, Buildertrend’s Vice President of People. 

These guideposts are central to Buildertrend’s growth strategy, underscored by recent acquisitions, ongoing product enhancements informed by customer feedback and a new internal campaign aimed at putting customers at the center of every initiative and decision. At the same time, the company continues to deepen its corporate social responsibility efforts and programs to enable every team member to build their best self, career and life. 

Buildertrend annually retools its employee benefits package. In 2023, the company added and enhanced a variety of benefits, including a new paid sabbatical program that gives employees four weeks of paid time off for every five years of tenure.  

The company also added two weeks to their maternal and parental leave policies. Now all new mothers get 14 weeks of paid leave, with the option to choose a two-week ramp-up period to ease back into work. New dads, adoptive and foster parents now get six weeks of paid parental leave, plus an optional two-week ramp-up period.  
 
Input from team members across the organization helped Buildertrend revamp its organizational purpose, core values and additional hallmarks of the company’s culture in 2022. “Achieving Great Place to Work certification is an affirmation that we are promoting a culture that is built by our people and resonates with what is most important to them,” said Dan Houghton, Buildertrend’s CEO and co-founder.
