The Woodlands Township Earns Top Workplaces Honor

THE WOODLANDS, TX -- The Woodlands Township has been recognized as one of Houston’s Top Workplaces for 2026 by the Houston Chronicle, earning a place among the leading employers in the Greater Houston region. The recognition highlights the Township’s commitment to fostering a positive workplace culture and supporting the employees who serve The Woodlands community every day.

The Township was recognized in the large workplace category, which honors organizations with 500 or more employees across the Greater Houston region. This marks the Township’s first appearance on the annual list, which is determined by employee feedback and celebrates employers that have built strong workplace cultures.

From maintaining parks and providing fire protection services to organizing community events and delivering essential services, Township employees play an important role in the quality of life that makes The Woodlands a special place to live, work and visit. The recognition reflects the dedication of the Township’s workforce and the organization's continued efforts to create an environment where employees feel valued, supported and connected to the community they serve.

“Our employees are the heart of this organization, and we are incredibly proud of the team we have built,” said Monique Sharp, President and CEO of The Woodlands Township. “We strive to create a workplace where employees feel valued, supported and empowered to make a difference. This recognition is especially meaningful because it comes directly from our employees and reflects the culture we have worked together to create.”

The Top Workplaces program is conducted in partnership with an employee engagement firm and uses confidential employee surveys to evaluate workplace culture, including leadership, communication, employee engagement and opportunities for growth.
