Neighborhoods.com Named a Finalist in The When Work Works Award

Neighborhoods.com has been named as a finalist in the 2016-2017 When Work Works Award. The award is given by the Families and Work Institute (FWI) in conjunction with the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) and recognizes some of the country’s most effective and flexible workplaces.

Neighborhoods.com is a full-service brokerage and an easy-to-use online real estate resource that helps people find the perfect home as well as the ideal neighborhood. Potential buyers can use Neighborhoods.com to narrow down their home search to a specific neighborhood and see the amenities, ratings of area schools, reviews of the neighborhood, and more to help them make one of the most important decisions of their lives.

In order to become finalists for the When Work Works Award, Neighborhoods.com went through a rigorous application process.

“To reach this stage, applications were measured against nationally representative data from Families and Work Institute and the Society for Human Resource Management’s National Study of employers,” states the SHRM. “Applicants had to score in the top 20%- at or above the 80th percentile of employers nationally – to move forward in the Award process.”

Neighborhoods.com is honored to be a finalist in this prestigious award and takes great pride in being a flexible workplace that supports all of its employees.

“As a startup, we really consider our workplace to be like a family,” says Bill Ness, CEO and co-founder of Neighborhoods.com. “It means a lot to be recognized for our efforts to create a flexible work environment where employees feel supported and motivated.”

With excellent benefits as well as a flexible vacation and work from home policy, employees at Neighborhoods.com are encouraged to give their all to the company while maintaining a work-life balance that allows them to raise families and pursue fulfilling hobbies.

“Having the trust from the company to work my schedule around real life truly minimizes stress in my household,” says Todd Warshauer, VP of Sales and father of two. “Having a flexible workplace allows me to be truly present when I’m with my family, which is hugely important as my daughters grow up.”

Neighborhoods.com is based in Chicago and currently employs 53 people both in the home office and remotely throughout the country – and the company is rapidly growing. For more information visit Neighborhoods.com.
