4 August 2022

New York, 4 August 2022 – JUMO has become certified as a Most Loved Workplace®, backed by Best Practice Institute (BPI) research and analysis. Most Loved Workplace® validation provides the most comprehensive look at workplace sentiment for organizations today.

“Being a mission driven organisation, we tend to attract highly skilled people at the top of their game who want to use their talent to improve both financial systems and the lives of millions of emerging market entrepreneurs,” said JUMO COO Susie Squire. “This accolade means so much because it shows us that the work we do in celebrating and nurturing our team at JUMO is up there with the best in the world, and that as well as having an amazing journey with us, it will also be a rewarding one in every sense.”

JUMO has been certified as a Most Loved Workplace® because of its commitment to diversity, autonomy and unlocking the full potential of their people in a high performing and high growth environment. People who work for JUMO find collective meaning through a united purpose and the work of each employee has an impact on the lives of their customers.

Most Loved Workplaces® certify companies where employees are the happiest and most satisfied at work. JUMO became certified as a Most Loved Workplace® based on its scores on the Love of Workplace Index™, which surveys employees on various elements around employee satisfaction and sentiment, including the level of respect, collaboration, support, and sense of belonging they feel inside the Company. 

“I started Most Loved Workplaces® out of inspiration from my community of people who consciously place love for their employees at the center of their business model,” said Louis Carter, the founder, and CEO of BPI and a social/organizational psychologist, thought leader, entrepreneur, and author. Carter’s book, “In Great Company: How to Spark Peak Performance by Creating an Emotionally Connected Workplace,” identifies the specific areas needed to become a highly respected, reputable organization where people love to work with each other – a Most Loved Workplace®.

In its original research that created MLW criteria, Backed by BPI, Most Loved Workplaces® surveyed more than 175 companies and more than 3,000 executives across Europe, United States, Middle East/Northern Africa, and Southeast Asia. They found that productivity rises as employee sentiment increases, with 94 percent of responders saying they did three to four times more work for a company they loved and 95 percent saying they stayed at companies they loved three to four times longer. Most Loved Workplaces® certification is the most valid method to determine employee experience and recognize a top workplace that is loved by its employees.
