AMMAN — Top
Employers Institute has certified JTI as one of only 11 “
Global Top Employers”,

certified 3 years in a row in all six regions in which it operates: North

“We are delighted that JTI has retained its place in
the elite of Global Top Employers. They should be proud of their status as a
world leader in people practices, and the ongoing commitment they show to
improving the wellbeing of all their employees across the world. Their latest
success in being certified as a global equality employer is a standard to
emulate for those companies who wish to become a top employer too,” said
David Plink, CEO of Top Employers Institute.
Mr. Andy Stevens,
general manager of JTI Jordan and
Palestine commented: “We are honored by this
announcement, which we consider a new achievement to add to our long list in
this field. For JTI International and Jordan, our employees are the priority.
They come at the heart of everything we do, and this is the primary motivation
for striving towards providing them with the best working environment. JTI
Jordan this year will focus on the areas of well being, diversity, inclusion and
rewards, in addition to the overall strategy for individuals.”
He added: “At JTI
Jordan, we consider providing growth opportunities and creating the best
environment and working conditions to our employees as one of our top
priorities. This applies to the 40,000 colleagues around the world and we will
continue to do so without stopping.”
Around all of its branches, JTI has set itself
ambitious goals for the coming years to benefit, support, and engage with
current and future talent. The organization will continue to focus on employee
wellbeing by adapting and improving the company’s
work environment, be that in
the office or at home. Current employees will have access to numerous remote
team building initiatives, focusing on a healthy work/life balance and personal
development. In following this perspective, potential future employees will be
invited to take part in JTI’s “Make It Bright Challenge”, where students from
around the world compete for paid global internships, which could lead to
permanent positions. These programs, alongside its other world-leading
initiatives, will reinforce JTI’s status as a top employer.
Top Employers Institute is the global authority on
recognizing excellence in people practices, and this year notably commended JTI
for: embedding equal opportunities and equal pay throughout the company, which
EY recognized in November 2021 when they awarded JTI with one of the first
Global Equality Standard (GES) certificates; and its commitment to employee
wellbeing through world-leading initiatives such as flexible working measures,
its progressive global family leave policy, rolled out in 2021, and its women’s
empowerment program TOGETHER.
