Star Tribune Top Workplace Award

Creative Homes has been named one of the Top 175 Workplaces in Minnesota by the Star Tribune! Among the top 150 small companies, Creative Homes was ranked #20 on the list. A complete list of those selected is available here and was recently published in the Star Tribune Top Workplaces special section. “The companies in the Star Tribune Top 175 Workplaces deserve high praise for creating the very best work environments in the state of Minnesota. My congratulations to each of these exceptional companies,” Star Tribune Publisher Michael J. Klingensmith wrote.

Produced by the same team that compiles the 30-year-old Star Tribune 100 report of the best-performing public companies in Minnesota, Top Workplaces recognizes the most progressive companies in Minnesota based on employee opinions measuring engagement, organizational health and satisfaction. The analysis included responses from over 76,000 employees at Minnesota public, private and nonprofit organizations. The rankings in the Star Tribune Top 175 Workplaces are based on survey information collected by Energage, an independent company specializing in employee engagement and retention.

Time and time again Creative Homes employees mention the fun culture and passion! Survey results of employees in 2021 showed a common theme of words including love, fun, team, energy, and culture.  

“We are so excited that our employees once again feel the same passion and named Creative Homes as a great place to work,” said Nick Hackworthy, Creative Homes president. “Our team’s focus on delivering an unmatched customer experience and a 'work hard, play hard' culture makes this a fun place to work. We often talk about one of our core values, ‘good is not good enough,’ and we apply that approach to not only ourselves, but the mark we are making in our community."

Creative Homes is a new home construction company out of Woodbury, Minnesota. It’s award-winning homes and passion to deliver an unmatched customer experience promotes collaboration and communication across all levels of the organization. In addition to building quality homes and delivering an unmatched customer experience, Creative Homes has many initiates to support both employee growth and growth in the communities we serve.
