Arlington, Va. | March 11, 2025 – The National Apartment Association (NAA) has announced the winners of the 2025 NAA Top Employers Awards, which recognize member organizations that foster environments of collaboration, innovation and hard work.
NAA’s Top Employers Awards pay tribute to management companies and suppliers from across the rental housing industry that have exceeded expectations in creating a culture that emphasizes growth and contribution. The awards are divided into four categories, one for suppliers and three for management companies. The management company categories are designated for small businesses of up to 100 employees, medium businesses with 101-500 employees and large businesses with more than 500 employees.
Employees and their satisfaction, measured through an anonymous survey, determine the award winners and finalists in each of the categories. The survey results are provided to all nominees to help organizations better understand and recognize employee sentiment.
“In 2025’s ever-evolving rental housing landscape, recruitment and retention are more critical than ever,” said Bob Pinnegar, NAA president and CEO. “The winners of the 2025 NAA Top Employers Awards have set a new standard for creating outstanding workplace cultures that prioritize engagement and continuous learning.
