MADISON, N.J., Nov. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Realogy
Holdings Corp. (NYSE: RLGY), the leading and most integrated
provider of residential real estate services in the United States, today announced the
company's inclusion as one of Forbes Magazine's World's Top
Female-Friendly Companies 2021. Based on direct feedback from
female employees, the esteemed list is presented by Forbes
and Statista Inc., the world-leading statistics portal and industry
ranking provider.
The designation, which follows Realogy's recent recognition as
one of Forbes World's Best Employers 2021, honors the
company's commitment to supporting women in business. It comes at a
time when women in the workforce continue to be disproportionately
impacted by the pandemic, resulting in the U.S. Labor Department's
lowest reported labor-force participation rates among women in the
U.S. since the 1970s. In September
2021, more than 300,000 women ages 20 and older exited the
workforce, according to National Women's Law Center.
"I am incredibly proud that Realogy has been recognized once
again this year by Forbes, this time as one of the World's Top
Female Friendly Companies 2021," said Ryan Schneider, Realogy's chief executive
officer and president. "Women leaders power Realogy's success
across a number of critical business, strategic, and financial
roles. I believe our strong female leadership has enabled Realogy
to build a more inclusive workplace culture that attracts and
supports female employees as they grow, excel, and drive impact in
their careers."
Realogy, which has a highly gender-diverse population, is seeing
historic hiring numbers while experiencing its lowest turnover rate
in over three years. Realogy transitioned to a hybrid workforce in
2020, with approximately 62% of employees working remotely, and is
proactively cultivating a culture of flexibility and connection
among employees. The redefined "Home to Hub" work environment
offers employees the freedom to determine where and how they work
to best meet and exceed their goals.
"Realogy is a longtime champion for women, not only in the real
estate industry but in business overall," said Tanya Reu-Narvaez, Realogy's chief people
officer. "This honor is more important today than ever before as we
face a pivotal moment for women in a transforming workplace. With a
combination of remote and office-based employees, Realogy is deeply
focused on fostering a culture that prioritizes flexibility,
connectivity, and wellness - where it's not just up to women to
lean in, it's up to all of us to create a culture of inclusion
where all employees are empowered to thrive."
Leading the Way for Women at Work
The company boasts
strong female leadership representation, with women comprising 30
percent of Realogy's Board of Directors and 60 percent of its
Executive Committee. Realogy has been recognized for gender
diversity on its Board of Directors by Executive Women of
New Jersey and the Women's Forum
of New York. The company also
represented three of the top five Most Powerful Women Executives in
real estate on the 2021 Swanepoel Power 200 ranking.
To support employees impacted by childcare and household
changes, Realogy offers the employee-led Home Network for Parents
and Caregivers, established at the start of the pandemic, to create
a network of support for those adapting to caring for children
remotely. The company also offers a Women's Employee Resource Group
(ERG), which hosts events and panels on career growth, leadership,
and other topics throughout the year.
Realogy and its family of brands encourage career development,
leadership, and entrepreneurship for women across the real estate
industry, through various programs including the industry-first
Inclusive Ownership Program, designed to invest in the success of
diverse franchise owners, including women; What Moves Her, a
program that supports women finding their path to leadership; and
Century 21's Empowering Latinas program, aimed at assisting Latina
entrepreneurs in obtaining their real estate license.
Realogy is also a national partner of WomanUP, an organization
focused on increasing the representation of women-owned brokerages
and women in corporate leadership roles across the real estate
industry.
The company is continually recognized for its inclusive culture.
In addition to the recent Forbes World's Best Employers
Award, Realogy was designated as a Great Place To Work® for the
fourth year in a row, named one of LinkedIn's 2021 Top
Companies in the U.S., and recognized for 10 consecutive years as
one of the World's Most Ethical Companies. Read more
