LITTLE ROCK and TORONTO, July 26,
2018 /CNW/ - For the second straight year BSR (TSX:
HOM.U) has been named as one of the Best Places to work in
Arkansas by Arkansas
Business and the Best Companies Group. The Best Places to Work
distinction was designed to identify and honor the best employers
in Arkansas, benefiting the
state's economy, workforce and businesses. Companies from across
the state were considered through a two-part process. The first
part consisted of evaluating each nominated company's workplace
policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics, while
the second consisted of an anonymous internal survey to measure the
employee experience.
"Making the best places to work list for the second straight
year is a huge honor for BSR," said CEO John Bailey. "When you combine this with our
recent IPO, it has been a remarkable year so far in the history of
our company. We never want to lose sight of the fact that our
employees are the driving force behind each of these
accomplishments. Together we have built a strong company culture
based on our values of respect, integrity, service, teamwork, and
community. This is the foundation of our current and future
growth."
The 2018 Best Places to Work distinction comes on the heels of
BSR's successful IPO on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) on
May 18th of this year. Now a publicly
traded REIT, BSR is listed on the TSX under the symbol HOM.U. BSR
is the newest publicly traded company in the state of Arkansas. In June BSR continued its growth
trajectory by acquiring Brandon Place Apartments, a 200 unit
garden-style residential community in Oklahoma City, OK for 23.4 million dollars.
