Inc. Recognizes Valor Among 507 Companies Nationwide on Its Annual Best Workplaces List
FORT WORTH, TX (June 2, 2026) — Valor, a Fort Worth-based specialty asset management company with expertise in providing mineral management solutions and oil and gas outsourcing, has been named to Inc.’s 2026 Best Workplaces list, a national recognition honoring companies that are creating exceptional workplace cultures and investing in the employee experience. This marks Valor’s second appearance on the list, following its first recognition in 2024.
The recognition is based on a comprehensive evaluation of applicants nationwide, including employee feedback gathered through an in-depth survey administered by Quantum Workplace. The survey measures key areas such as leadership, benefits, professional development, workplace culture, and overall employee experience, with company benefits also reviewed as part of the final scoring process. Valor is proud to be named among the 507 companies recognized this year.
“Being named to the Inc. 2026 Best Workplaces list is an incredible honor,” said Joseph DeWoody, CEO & Co-founder of Valor. “This national recognition reflects the culture our team has built together and the dedication of the people who make Valor such a meaningful and rewarding place to work.”
Valor supports employee well-being through benefits designed for life in and outside of work. These include 100% employer-paid health insurance premiums, paid parental leave, employer-sponsored Life and AD&D coverage, a 401(k) plan, paid holidays, and generous PTO. Employees also benefit from career development opportunities, company-sponsored outings, and complimentary entertainment tickets to enjoy with family and friends.
“This year’s Best Workplaces list goes beyond great company culture–it highlights companies making meaningful and sustained investment in their employees,” says Bonny Ghosh, editorial director at Inc. “Even in a labor market that favors employers, these companies understand that an intentional and authentic commitment to their teams drives stronger employee retention, engagement, and ultimately, a stronger business overall.”
