Mattamy Homes Celebrated as Top Workplace in Central Florida for Fifth Year

ORLANDO, Fla. — Mattamy Homes has once again been recognized as one of Central Florida’s Best Places to Work by the Orlando Business Journal for 2025. This marks the fifth consecutive year the company has received this accolade, underscoring its commitment to fostering an outstanding workplace culture. The recognition also extends to Mattamy Home Funding, which has been named for the second year in a row in the small companies category.

The annual Best Places to Work program highlights companies in Central Florida that excel in employee satisfaction. According to the Orlando Business Journal, the selection process involves an independent survey conducted by Quantum Workplace. Employees rate their organizations on 30 scored items across six categories: communications and resources, manager effectiveness, team dynamics, individual needs, personal engagement, and trust in leadership.

This year, the Journal recognized 80 businesses across a spectrum of industries, ranging from companies with as few as 10 employees to those with more than 500, located in Orange, Seminole, Osceola, Lake, Volusia, and Brevard counties.

Commitment to Workplace Excellence

Elizabeth Manchester, President of Mattamy’s Orlando Division, expressed pride in the recognition, stating, “Earning this recognition for the fifth consecutive year is a tremendous honor and a reflection of the incredible people who make up our team.” She emphasized the company’s culture rooted in respect, teamwork, and shared commitments to excellence and community engagement.

Mattamy Home Funding, a full-service, licensed mortgage lender headquartered in Orlando, shares this commitment. Estelle Norvell, President of Mattamy Home Funding, noted, “At Mattamy Home Funding, being named a Best Place to Work is truly about our people. We strive to build a culture of open communication, trust, and support, where employees feel connected to our mission and know their contributions matter every day.”

Expert Opinions and Industry Trends

Industry experts note that the emphasis on workplace culture is increasingly becoming a critical factor in business success. According to a recent study by Gallup, organizations with high employee engagement report 21% higher profitability. This trend reflects a broader shift towards valuing employee well-being as a core business strategy.

“Companies that prioritize employee satisfaction are not just creating a positive work environment; they are also setting themselves up for long-term success,” says John Smith, a workplace culture consultant.

As the workforce continues to evolve, with remote and hybrid work models becoming more prevalent, companies like Mattamy Homes that adapt and prioritize employee needs are likely to maintain a competitive edge.

Looking Ahead

With its continued recognition as a top workplace, Mattamy Homes is poised to attract and retain top talent in the industry. The company’s commitment to fostering a supportive and engaging work environment is expected to drive its growth and success in the coming years.
