INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev., Oct. 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tri Pointe Homes® (NYSE: TPH), one of the largest homebuilders in the U.S., today announced that it has been named to the 2024 Fortune Best Workplaces for Women™ list for the third consecutive year. This recognition follows the company’s recent inclusion on the 2024 PEOPLE® Companies That Care® list and the 2024 Fortune Best Workplaces in Construction™ list, reinforcing Tri Pointe’s ongoing commitment to cultivating a diverse, inclusive, and supportive workplace culture.
“We are incredibly honored to be recognized as one of the best workplaces for women for the third year in a row,” said Heather Breidenthal, Chief Human Resources Officer at Tri Pointe Homes. “Creating an environment where women can thrive and advance is one of the cornerstones of our success. At Tri Pointe, we are committed to fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion at every level of our organization, ensuring that all team members are supported, respected, and given the tools they need to reach their full potential.”
The recognition comes as Tri Pointe Homes continues to prioritize the career development of women and other underrepresented groups in leadership positions. According to a 2024 Diversity Representation Survey, which compares key job categories across the homebuilding industry, Tri Pointe consistently exceeds the industry benchmark in terms of diversity in corporate executive roles and management positions. As of December 31, 2023, 42% of all Tri Pointe team members in management roles were women. Additionally, Tri Pointe has internally promoted 296 team members since 2021, with 62 of those promotions advancing women to director-level positions or above.
Kristen Reka, New Product Development Manager at Tri Pointe Homes in the D.C metro division, is a prime example of the company’s dedication to internal leadership growth. “The most significant perk of this organization is that I’ve been able to grow and evolve as new opportunities come up,” said Reka, who has been promoted through various roles since joining the company in 2004. “Tri Pointe creates many paths for women to expand and grow.”
Tri Pointe Homes’ commitment to diversity also extends to its efforts in recruiting and retaining women in historically male-dominated areas of the homebuilding industry, such as construction and customer care. One notable example is Hannah Mackey, who was recruited during a college event and has since been promoted to construction manager in the Houston division.
CindyAnn Lucas, Construction Manager at Tri Pointe Homes in the Arizona division, has played a significant role in advancing the company’s commitment to diversity. “Women bring a unique perspective to the workplace,” said Lucas. “We consider our environments differently, we function in our own unique ways, and we bring attention to details that enhance the overall quality of our work. I’ve seen a growing presence of women in diverse leadership roles, not just in construction but across all industries, and it’s exciting to be part of this positive change.”
Employee engagement and establishing a nurturing workplace are key factors in Tri Pointe’s culture. The company has consistently worked to create a constructive space where team members across all demographics can excel. Through mentorship programs, professional development opportunities, and wellness efforts, Tri Pointe ensures that team members are equipped to reach their highest potential, further driving the company’s reputation as a leading workplace.
“Tri Pointe Homes is proud to be part of a movement that not only champions diversity in the workplace but also provides opportunities for women in construction and leadership roles,” said Breidenthal. “Our team members are at the heart of our success, and we remain dedicated to ensuring that every individual feels valued, supported, and empowered.”

Honorees were selected based on their ability to offer positive outcomes for women across job roles, career stages, and diverse backgrounds, reflecting Tri Pointe’s emphasis on inclusivity. To be eligible, companies must employ at least 50 women and have a minimum of 20% of non-executive managers who are women, including at least one female C-suite executive.
