[Chicago, IL, March 3, 2025] — Built In announced that Lessen was honored in its 2025 Best Places To Work Awards.

“We are thrilled to be honored once again for the culture and benefits we offer,” says Lessen Founder and CEO Jay McKee. “In the same way our platform has innovated the facility management industry by thinking outside of the box, Lessen is continually innovating how we do things as a company to make sure we retain the most talented workforce and reward employees who time and again do great work.”
