Phoenix, Arizona – December 12, 2023 – The Multifamily Innovation® Summit, held on December 5-6, 2023 in Phoenix, Arizona, was the prestigious backdrop for the unveiling of the Best Places to Work Multifamily® for Women rankings. This annual event, a focal point for the multifamily industry, welcomed senior executives from across the nation who gathered to celebrate and acknowledge the companies that are setting benchmarks in employee involvement and satisfaction.
The rankings, a critical component of recognizing industry leaders, were exclusively revealed to an audience of multifamily executives. Each company listed first achieved recognition in the Best Places to Work Multifamily® before securing their position in the Best Places to Work Multifamily® for Women list. This two-tiered achievement underscores the commitment and success of these organizations in fostering a work environment where employee feedback and satisfaction are paramount.
The criteria for ranking were rigorous, emphasizing high levels of employee participation and positive response rates in internal surveys, and the requirement of being a recognized “Best Place to Work Multifamily®” in the current year. This benchmarking provides a transparent and comprehensive view of the companies leading the way in employee engagement and satisfaction within the multifamily industry.
The Best Places to Work Multifamily® for Women list, a prestigious recognition in the multifamily industry, sets rigorous criteria for organizations aspiring to be acknowledged for their commitment to inclusivity. To qualify, companies must have a minimum of 15 women on their team, regardless of the organization’s size. For organizations with over 60 employees, at least 25% of the workforce should be female. A key factor is the female response rate to internal surveys, which must be 40% or higher, and even more stringent at 80% for employers with less than 25 women. A minimum of 10 female responses is mandatory for consideration. Additionally, organizations must be recognized as a “Best Place to Work” for the current year and demonstrate an 80% average positive response rate among their female employees. For larger companies that conduct selective employee surveys, a minimum of 40% of the respondents should be women.
This comprehensive set of criteria underscores the importance of female representation and satisfaction in the workplace, highlighting the industry’s commitment to fostering equitable and inclusive work environments.

In this episode of the Multifamily Women® Podcast, host Carrie Antrim interviews Amber Tran, Product Designer at Vizibly. This episode is part of our “Meet the Sponsors” Series where we get to know the brands creating the most forward-thinking innovations in software and technology to offer solutions for multifamily property management and ownership to become more efficient and successful.
Amber shares her insights on user-centered design and how it can be applied to the world of multifamily property management. She discusses her role at Vizibly and the importance of designing experiences that add value to the end user.
The success of a design or product in property management is measured by its ability to provide a user experience that caters to the needs of property managers. Amber emphasizes the importance of a simplified user interface that is still complex enough for power users, aiming to strike a balance where technology is useful and enhances property managers’ efficiency.
Technology is not meant to replace jobs but rather to support and enhance human efficiency. Amber addresses the fear that technology will replace jobs, clarifying that it is more of a transition. The purpose of technology in this context is to provide property managers and on-site teams with more time to focus on building relationships.
While technology can automate tasks and streamline processes, it cannot replace the human touch and understanding necessary in property management. The goal of technology is to give property managers more time and enable them to be faster and more efficient. The success of a design or product in this context is measured by its ability to improve outcomes, processes, and user experience.
