Physicians Realty Trust (NYSE: DOC) is a publicly-traded real estate investment trust (REIT) focused on the selective acquisition and long-term ownership of medical office buildings leased to the health care industry’s highest quality tenants. Headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the company has a 14 million square foot portfolio featuring over 265 properties spanning 36 states.

Every aspect of DOC’s business is predicated on the company’s mission to “Invest in Better.” As a publicly-traded REIT, this entails better returns for investors, but what sets us apart is that this philosophy extends much deeper than financial reports and dividend statements. DOC is also committed to better health care and better communities, and actively engages with our tenants and health care partners to ensure they are best positioned to focus on what they do best – providing best-in-class health care to the communities in which they serve.

Our mission and vision guide every decision we make as a team, and the results speak for themselves. Our office culture has garnered numerous “Top Workplace” honors on both the local and national level, and the company has been named a finalist for the IREM Accredited Management Organization of the Year Award in each of the last two years.

While the core of our business is providing exceptional customer service to our health care partners, we can’t take care of others if we don’t first take care of ourselves. In addition to cultivating our unique culture of excellence, we invest heavily in our team and our physical spaces. That starts with competitive pay, immediate vesting in our 401K program, equity compensation, and stock options. All employees enjoy generous time off, a comprehensive benefits package, paid parental leave, numerous professional development opportunities, and even some unique benefits, including pet insurance and complimentary investment advisory services.

Given that we spend about a third of our lives at work, we also believe that the details are every bit as important as a robust benefits package. Our company’s strong commitment to health, fitness, and work-life balance has resulted in a new wellness room at our Milwaukee headquarters and additional staff amenities to encourage healthy habits including standing desks, water bottle refill stations, white noise machines, and biometric readers

Above all, DOC continues to prioritize team involvement in the workplace. Many of our employees lead committees focusing on social, environmental, philanthropic, and health & wellness topics that shape DOC’s company policies and drive positive change. We’ve continued to strengthen and grow our commitments to ESG and DE&I initiatives, and empower our team to be drivers of change and progress as we continue to “Invest in better” for our team members, our health care partners, and the communities we serve.
