Hamlet Homes was chosen as one of Utah Business ‘Best Companies to Work For 2020’.
This award is not an easy one to win. Each year, Utah Business conducts surveys and talks to thousands of employees in Utah to determine which are the best companies to work for. The surveys are completely anonymous, allowing for truth-telling from employees. After hearing their honest thoughts and seeing which companies stepped it up during the pandemic, Utah Business finds the best of the best companies to work for. Hamlet Homes was recognized in the Micro Companies Category along 10 others here in Utah. Micro-Companies have 1-50 employees and are doing things right. “Of all the many awards Hamlet Homes has earned over our 25 years in business, this is easily the one that I am most proud of, because it means we have an amazing culture and a great place to work. By creating an environment where anyone would love to work, with All-Star teammates who love to help and support each other in every way possible, we’ve built a team of the best in the business who continue to provide a great experience for all of our homeowners. That is what makes for homebuyers who will refer us to their friends and a successful long-term business.” Said Barry Gittleman, Hamlet Homes President/CEO/Owner We know culture is important and we do everything we can to make work a place that our team loves to come every day. Hamlet Homes recently moved into a brand-new state-of-the-art Corporate Office in which features an open workspace, but with the right amount of privacy. Each Hamlet Team Member was able to select the colors, designs and features of their own workspaces. The office also features a “lounge” area with TV, library and a custom massage chair, a Hamlet Café that has a snack bar, stocked fridge and ongoing Team Member tournaments at the Ping-Ping Table and Foosball Table. Hamlet Team Members can also “Ring-the-Bell” in the office when GREAT things happen to acknowledge milestones and successes and can reap the rewards from Spinning the Wheel of prizes where they can win things like Gift Cards, Dinner and a Movie or even cash bonuses. In addition, every Team Member is eligible for the Net Income Bonus program. If the company meets or exceeds its net income budget in any month, every employee receives a $100 bonus. This is all in addition to many fun company parties and celebrations – we are always looking for ways to celebrate around here. We are also always looking to find ways to give back. We believe in purpose and are strongly committed to giving back to our community individually and as a team. As a company we have partnered with The National Ability Center, the Utah Food Bank, The Red Cross, Big Sisters Big Brothers, Habitat for Humanity, and we host an annual Sub for Santa Campaign. Individually, our Team Members support many organizations that are close to their heart. Individually, our Team Members support many organizations that are close to their heart.

We offer discounts on our homes to US Veterans and believe strongly in supporting them as they have supported us. We are members of most of the local Chamber of Commerce in each of the cities we have communities in, so that we can participate and volunteer in city events and neighborhood programs and help build more than just homes, so that we can make a lasting impact in those communities.
