Turner Again Named Top Employer for Women

Turner Construction Company has once again secured a place among America’s Best Employers for Women, according to Forbes magazine’s annual ranking. This recognition underscores Turner’s continued dedication to building an inclusive workplace culture that champions opportunities for women at every level.

For the second consecutive year, Turner’s progress has been notable — the company climbed more than 200 spots on Forbes’ list to become the highest-ranked construction firm in the country. The honor reflects Turner’s proactive approach to gender diversity, equity, and employee well-being.

The Forbes ranking is based on an independent survey of more than 140,000 women employed by businesses with at least 1,000 staff members nationwide. The comprehensive study included over four million evaluations, taking into account direct feedback from female employees, peer recommendations within the industry, and quantifiable data on gender representation in leadership roles and board membership.

“This recognition by Forbes reflects our commitment to build a workplace where everyone has the opportunity to grow and succeed,” said Rosemarie Demonte, Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer at Turner Construction Company. “We have inclusive hiring and promotion practices, robust wellness and mental health resources, and benefits that reflect the diverse needs of our workforce. We have been able to create and sustain a working environment where everyone is treated with respect and dignity.”

Turner continues to invest in programs and policies designed to attract, retain, and advance women across all functions of its operations — from project sites to corporate offices. The company’s initiatives include mentorship programs, leadership training, flexible work arrangements, and mental health support tailored to help employees balance work and life demands.

The company also emphasizes creating meaningful career paths for the next generation. “Turner has great opportunities for people who are open to exploration and challenges. If you have a love for building, are looking for a company who puts people first, and want to make a difference, we have a place for you,” the company stated.

This latest honor adds to a growing list of accolades Turner has received from Forbes, including being named a Best Employer for New Graduates, a Best Large Employer, and one of America’s Dream Employers. These recognitions reflect Turner’s vision to remain a people-first builder that not only delivers world-class projects but also prioritizes the growth, safety, and well-being of its diverse workforce.

As the construction industry continues to evolve, Turner’s leadership demonstrates how fostering a culture of inclusion and respect can help attract top talent and drive positive change across the sector.
