Howard Parks, JTI's Senior Vice President of HR and Executive Committee member shared his views on why JTI consistently ranks amongst the world's best employers: "Above all, it's our employees who make JTI a Top Employer. Like investors, they truly care about the future success of our organization while we also believe that when they succeed, we succeed. By benchmarking our people-practices against the world's leading Top Employers, we always ensure that our organization remains an employer of choice for current and future employees."

JTI's best-in-class HR practices are not only recognized by the Top Employers Institute, but equally valued by its nearly 45,000 employees worldwide: In JTI's recent global Employee Engagement Survey, 95% of employees believed strongly in the values and objectives of JTI, 95% are willing to go the extra mile to help the company succeed, and 89% of employees said they would recommend JTI to a friend as a great place to work.

JTI's offices across the globe were recognized for their excellent employee conditions, outstanding opportunities for learning and development, and best-in-class HR practices, as confirmed by an independent assessment undertaken by the Top Employers Institute.

"We are delighted to support JTI's ambition to continuously improve the HR policies that affect close to 45,000 employees worldwide. Over the years, we have seen great progress with regards to best in class talent practices throughout the organization. This is proven by the consistent presence of JTI in the top regional ratings and one of the first companies to be certified as Global Top Employers since 2015," said David Plink, CEO of Top Employers Institute.
