KB Home, a prominent player in the homebuilding industry, has been officially recognized as one of America's Best Companies 2026 by TIME. This prestigious award, facilitated by TIME alongside Statista, emphasizes the exemplary nature of U.S. companies that exemplify outstanding leadership within their sectors.
This latest accolade contributes to KB Home's stellar reputation, which recently saw it included in TIME's list of the 10 Most Influential Design-Build Companies of 2026 and the TIME100 Most Influential Companies of the same year.
The acknowledgment from TIME highlights the unwavering commitment of KB Home's team. Rob McGibney, the President and CEO of KB Home, stated, "Being recognized by TIME as one of America's Best Companies is a testament to the dedication of our team. Since our founding, we have worked tirelessly to help more individuals achieve their dream of homeownership." He further remarked on how this distinction, influenced in part by employee evaluations, shows that the workforce genuinely regards KB Home as an outstanding workplace.
TIME's evaluation process for the America's Best Companies list leverages a comprehensive, data-driven approach focusing on three core areas: employee satisfaction, financial performance, and sustainability practices. In total, 217,000 employee surveys gauged elements such as workplace culture, pay satisfaction, working conditions, and employer reputation, indicating how pivotal employee perspective is in achieving this recognition.
Moreover, the financial performance assessment took a closer look at revenue growth, profitability, and asset performance, relying on multiyear financial data from companies generating at least $100 million in annual revenue. The sustainability evaluation assessed three main areas: environmental impact, social responsibility, and governance standards. These standardized metrics provide a transparent view of each company's commitment to sustainability.
With a commendable operational history spanning nearly 70 years, KB Home has established itself as one of the largest and most reputable homebuilders in the United States. The company operates in 50 markets and has proudly built over 700,000 houses, consistently earning high marks in customer satisfaction reflected in third-party evaluations.
