HOUSTON, TX (September 9, 2015): David Weekley Homes recently ranked on the “10 Best Companies for Baby Boomers” list, released by FORTUNE magazine and Great Place to Work®. This inaugural list, which is derived from the “100 Best Companies to Work For” list, uses survey results from employees over 55 years of age to disclose how they rate their workplace.
