HomeTeam Pest Defense Named a Certified Amazing Workplace for the Third Year in a Row

HomeTeam Pest Defense is proud to be recognized as a Certified Amazing Workplace for the third consecutive year, earning the designation in 2024, 2025, and 2026. This recognition reflects something that has always been important to HomeTeam: creating a workplace where people feel supported, valued, and connected to the team around them. In addition to our third consecutive certification, HomeTeam has received additional workplace happiness honors at both the company and branch levels.

Three Years as a Certified Amazing Workplace

A Certified Amazing Workplace designation recognizes organizations with independently verified, above-average levels of employee satisfaction and happiness. To qualify, an organization must independently verify that 70% or more of its employees often feel satisfied, happy, or very happy at work. For HomeTeam, earning this certification three years in a row is especially meaningful because the recognition is based on employee feedback. It reflects the experiences and perspectives of the people who make HomeTeam what it is every day.

“Being people-focused and working together as a team have always been important parts of who we are. I’m proud to be part of an organization where our people support one another, serve others, continuously look for ways to improve, and work together to Be Remarkable every day. These awards are a great affirmation of the culture our teammates and leaders have built together and the pride, connection, and sense of belonging that make HomeTeam such a special place to work.” – Toby Schafer, HomeTeam Pest Defense VP of Human Resources & Training

Additional Workplace Happiness Awards

HomeTeam’s recognition extends beyond its Certified Amazing Workplace status. Our recent workplace honors include:

• Certified Amazing Workplace for 2024, 2025, and 2026
• Global Workplace Happiness Award in 2024 and 2026
• Industry Happiness Award for Consumer Services in 2024 and 2026
