Recognition reflects a culture built and sustained by its people, rooted in pride, belonging and opportunity
SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Ninety-seven percent of employees at DPR Construction, one of the nation’s top technical builders, said it’s a great place to work, 40 points higher than employees score their workplaces at a typical U.S. company. This rating, along with leading marks on pride and belonging, resulted in DPR being Certified™ by Great Place To Work®, the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience, and the leadership behaviors proven to deliver market-leading revenue, employee retention and increased innovation. This recognition is based exclusively on what current employees say about their work experience.
“Being Certified™ as a great place to work is especially meaningful because it comes directly from our people, who bring our culture to life,” said George Pfeffer, DPR Construction CEO and Leadership Team member. “We believe that when people feel trusted, supported, and encouraged to grow, they do their best work—and that’s the inclusive employee experience we work to create every day.”
That belief is reflected in how DPR operates across its jobsites, offices and facilities. Employees across all parts of the company are trusted to make decisions, leaders share information openly, and individuals are encouraged to take initiative—whether that means innovating on a complex project, stepping into a new role, or contributing ideas outside their formal job description. They progress along career paths aligned with their interests and aspirations, supported by coaching, learning and development programs, and on-the-job experiences.
DPR’s approach is validated by Great Place To Work®‘s research: 97 percent of employees across DPR’s family of companies also say they feel a sense of pride in what they accomplish; 95 percent said they feel like they belong at DPR. Great Place To Work®‘s wider research also shows:
- Job seekers are 4.5 times more likely to find a great boss at a Certified™ great workplace
- Employees at Certified™ workplaces are 93 percent more likely to look forward to coming to work
- Employees at Certified™ workplaces are twice as likely to be paid fairly, earn a fair share of the company’s profits and have a fair chance at promotion
In addition to this recognition, DPR has also recently been named one of the nation’s Best Companies to Work For by U.S. News & World Report and one of America’s Greatest Workplaces for Culture, Belonging and Community by Newsweek. DPR employees consistently rank it as a best place to work locally, including in more than 15 U.S. cities in the last year.
