"Collectively, we hold the power to make meaningful strides towards workplace equality, inspire other organizations to do the same, and foster an environment where all team members thrive and feel supported," said Taylor Morrison Chairman and CEO Sheryl Palmer. "Taylor Morrison's nearly equal male-to-female workforce and higher than average female representation in leadership roles, is a meaningful point of pride for the company, particularly in our industry."

"Over these past nearly two years, we have all adjusted immensely while navigating a new working environment brought on by the pandemic," said Palmer. "I'm impressed by the tenacity and resilient spirit displayed by all our team members and so many others across the workforce. By proving that we can not only withstand, but grow and flourish even during the most difficult times, I'm hopeful we can move forward with renewed confidence and continue to strengthen our workplace culture."
