BETHESDA, Md., Oct. 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Walker &
Dunlop, Inc. (NYSE: WD) (the "Company") announced today that it was
ranked one of the best workplaces in the
United States in Fortune magazine's Great Place to Work®
2016 Best Small & Medium Workplaces list. This is the
fourth time in five years that Walker & Dunlop has received
this recognition.
Walker & Dunlop Senior Vice
President of Human Resources, Paula
Pryor stated, "Walker & Dunlop is thrilled to once again
be named a Great Place to Work, one of the top honors we can
receive as a Company. We take great pride in our strong Company
culture, and receiving this recognition demonstrates that our
employees not only embrace that culture but also feel they can find
personal and professional fulfilment by being a part of it."
Walker & Dunlop's corporate culture has differentiated the
firm throughout its 80-year history, even as the Company's size and
scale have grown dramatically over the past several years. Walker
& Dunlop makes ongoing investments in employees' health through
a robust wellness program, supports employees in their
charitable giving and volunteer work, promotes flexible work
schedules, and nurtures an environment of transparency and
teamwork.
"There's a generosity of spirit that infuses the Best Small and
Medium workplaces—one that has a measurable return," said
Kim Peters, Executive Vice President
of Great Place to Work. "Whether it's funding employee 'passion
projects' or giving surprise gifts to customers, the best
workplaces give it away. And they get it back in the form of
inspired people who innovate harder and generate higher
revenue."
Walker & Dunlop won this accolade based on employees'
anonymous responses to an extensive survey about their levels of
trust, pride and camaraderie at work. Great Place to Work® reviewed
the survey results of more than 52,000 employees from hundreds of
companies in the ranking process. Among the findings from the
study: trust fuels business performance. For example, the Best
Small and Medium Workplaces enjoy roughly three times the revenue
growth of their peers, even as they provide a better experience for
their people.
