JT has achieved a Gold Award for the second consecutive year in the Talent Inclusion and Diversity Evaluation (TIDE), recognising its commitment to creating an inclusive workplace for employees.
Developed by Onvero, TIDE is a diversity, equality and inclusion self-assessment tool that benchmarks organisations across 10 key areas, including inclusive recruitment, leadership, employee voice, wellbeing and belonging.
JT achieved an overall score of 92% in 2026, up from 89% last year and 37% in 2021.
The company ranked first among the 62 private-sector organisations taking part and fifth overall out of 158 entries.
JT also performed strongly in several areas of the assessment, ranking:
- 1st out of 158 organisations for talent inclusion and diversity strategy
- 3rd for diversity, equity and inclusion training
- 3rd for talent management and development
- 5th for inclusive recruitment
Laura Belo (pictured), Chief People Officer at JT, said: “Achieving Gold for a second consecutive year is something we are incredibly proud of, but what matters most is the progress being made behind the award. The growth from 37% in 2021 to 92% today reflects our on-going commitment to making inclusion part of how we work on a daily basis.
“Creating an inclusive workplace is firmly embedded into our business and part of our company culture, and while these results show how far we’ve come, we know there is always more to learn from and improve. We’ll continue listening to our people, learning from others and looking for new practical ways to make JT a place where everyone feels valued, supported and able to perform at their very best.”
