Aimco Achieves Denver Post Top Workplace Designation for the Third Consecutive Year

DENVER, May 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- For the third consecutive year, Apartment Investment and Management Company (Aimco) has earned the distinction of being a Denver Post Top Workplace.  

Aimco's honor was based on results of a third-party survey of its team members who evaluated the company on factors including day-to-day work environment, leadership and values, employee appreciation, and motivation. Team members gave Aimco high marks in the areas of work/life balance, management, direction, execution and engagement. The company's 2015 ranking was seven places higher than in 2014, moving from number 19 to number 12.  Aimco is one of only six companies to improve its position on the list of only 35 mid-size employers recognized this year.   

"We are thrilled and honored to be named a top workplace once again, and our higher ranking is a clear indication that our team culture is strong," said Aimco Chairman and CEO Terry Considine. "I congratulate our Aimco team members -- they earned this award by establishing a workplace where collaboration, innovation, and world-class customer service motivate us to achieve success.  Our award reflects the team's dedication and commitment to making Aimco a great place to work."

Aimco's culture is distinguished by five defining pillars:  We live with gusto; we own it; we value relationships; we create moments that matter; and we drive innovation and change.  Aimco actively promotes professional growth, career advancement and leadership development, filling more than two-thirds of its open management positions with internal candidates in 2014.  Through its philanthropic program Aimco Cares, Aimco gives each team member 10 paid hours to be applied toward volunteer service in communities, resulting in thousands of hours assisting local nonprofits.  Aimco Cares also supports members of the Aimco team by offering scholarship programs for the children of team members, and providing short-term financial assistance to employees in crisis, through the Aimco Cares 4U initiative.
