PulteGroup, Inc. (NYSE: PHM), America's third-largest homebuilding company, has been ranked No. 12 on the 2026 PEOPLE® Companies that Care list by Great Place To Work® and PEOPLE magazine. This marks PulteGroup’s fifth time earning a place on the prestigious list, recognizing the company’s ongoing commitment to supporting its employees, serving its communities and making a positive impact through its work.
The PEOPLE Companies that Care list is based on over 1.3 million employee survey responses and data from companies representing the experience of more than 7.3 million employees in the U.S. Of those surveys, nearly 970,000 responses came from employees at companies eligible for this year’s list, and these rankings are based on that feedback.
Companies also submit essays that are validated by employee survey data to give a complete picture of the way an organization cares for its employees, its community, and the planet. To be considered for the list, companies must be Great Place To Work Certified™ and have at least 10 U.S. employees.
Caring for our people means creating an environment where employees feel supported, valued and empowered to make a difference, said Kevin Henry, Executive Vice President and Chief People Officer at PulteGroup. That includes investing in their growth, listening to their ideas and giving them opportunities to make an impact. When our people are at their best, they make PulteGroup stronger and extend that impact to our customers and the communities we serve.
At PulteGroup, that commitment extends beyond the workplace. Employees are encouraged to connect and contribute through Business Resource Groups, volunteer opportunities and community initiatives across the organization. Through PulteGroup’s Built to Honor® program, employees also help build and donate mortgage-free homes to veterans with service-connected disabilities and their families. Together, these efforts reflect a culture of caring that reaches PulteGroup employees, customers and communities across the country.
The Companies that Care list is highly competitive. Survey responses reflect a comprehensive picture of the workplace experience. Honorees were selected based on their ability to care for employees, families, and the communities where they operate.
Employees are under immense pressure, and the best workplaces are finding ways to support them in the ways they need, says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work. When employees feel that sense of care, they do incredible things — delivering the crucial results that grow businesses and build new markets.
We're proud to celebrate companies that lead with purpose by supporting their employees, strengthening their communities, and driving positive change. Their commitment to positive impact reflects PEOPLE's longstanding mission to celebrate stories of inspiring people whose actions create lasting impact, said Charlotte Triggs, PEOPLE Editor in Chief.
Witnessing the innovative spirit with which these companies invest in their employees, communities, and the world is truly invigorating, said Charlotte Triggs, PEOPLE GM and editor-in-chief. Their commitment reflects our mission, to feature what happens when ordinary people do extraordinary work.
