Lemonjuice Solutions’ Top 10 placement in the 2026 Orlando Sentinel Top Workplaces awards reflects the dedication and perseverance of the people behind every resort partnership. When Lemonjuice succeeds, its resorts, boards, and owners share in that success.
Joining more than 134 winning-organizations from more than 3,5000 nominations, the awards are based on employee feedback, offering an internal assessment of leadership, culture, and the workplace experience. Recognition reflects employees’ assessment of the organization and the environment it creates.
A company’s culture is shaped by its principles and demonstrated through its people; and a culture of excellence is nurtured in a human centric environment where psychological safety is prioritized. At Lemonjuice, it’s our goal to help members feel supported, respected, and safe to share ideas and raise concerns. That culture directly benefits the communities the company serves. A resort management partnership depends on the people entrusted with a community’s future, and engaged employees bring the expertise, sound judgment, and responsive service that boards and owners deserve.
What the Survey Revealed
Lemonjuice employees ranked the company in the top 25% for work-life balance, employee appreciation, supportive managers, meaningful work, innovation, strong values, and open-mindedness. In one category, company direction, Lemonjuice placed in the top 5%. That result is particularly significant. It points to a team that understands where the company is headed and believes in that direction. When a community is working through a reserve study, a renovation, or a difficult conversation about its future, a management partner whose people are aligned around shared goals is a meaningful advantage.
How Culture Shapes Service
Effective resort management depends on professionals who are willing to speak up: the accountant who notices a pattern in the numbers, the manager who proposes a better approach to an owner meeting, the coordinator who identifies a concern before it becomes a problem. That kind of contribution happens in workplaces where employees feel comfortable sharing their perspectives.
One employee described the environment this way:
“I love my job because there are tons of opportunities to learn, grow, and advance. Good ideas come from all levels, and everyone’s input is valued.”
Another emphasized the company’s commitment to professional development:
“One of the aspects I love about Lemonjuice is the strong emphasis on growth and development. I feel challenged daily, which expands my skill set and gives me valuable experience. I am continually encouraged to push myself and learn new things.”
Community needs evolve over time, and a team committed to continuous learning is better prepared to evolve with them.
A People-First Approach
Lemonjuice’s mission is “to build sustainability in common ownership communities.” Through professional resort management, strategic planning, and its Resorts Reimagined® program, the company helps boards and owners address complex challenges and plan for the future.
That work extends well beyond buildings and budgets. Every decision affects owners who are personally invested in their property and the experiences it represents. One team member described the company’s approach:
“Being human-centric means putting people and relationships at the heart of everything I do. It is about creating connections, encouraging collaboration, and making sure people feel valued, because when we focus on people, we create better experiences for everyone.”
In practice, this means taking the time to understand each board’s priorities, communicating with care, and building the trust that allows difficult decisions to be addressed collaboratively.
Commitment to the Broader Community
Lemonjuice team members also contribute in meaningful ways that extend beyond the workplace - beach cleanups with the Surfrider Foundation, supporting The WASH Foundation and Ronald McDonald House, and participating in fundraising events like the Christel House Golf Scramble and Stars and Pars.
Industry awards often measure what a company says about itself, but The Top Workplaces recognition is different. It reflects what Lemonjuice employees say when given an anonymous opportunity to evaluate the organization, and their answer points to professionals who are supported, engaged, and committed to their work. Those qualities shape how quickly a concern is addressed, how thoroughly options are evaluated, and how carefully a board is guided through decisions that will affect owners for years to come.
A team that believes in its company’s direction brings that same conviction to the communities it serves. For boards and owners seeking a management partner invested in their community’s long-term success, the people behind Lemonjuice offer a strong and proven foundation on which to build.
