JT wins award for equality and inclusion

Thursday 12 January 2023

JT has won a TIDE Bronze award for promoting diverse teams and inclusive cultures in the workplace.

TIDE (Talent, Inclusion and Diversity Evaluation) benchmarks and measures JT’s approach and progress against a framework.

In the last 12 months JT’s TIDE score has jumped to 61% after making significant improvements to training and development and putting more emphasis on diversity and inclusion.

Being part of the TIDE process is about making continual improvements and JT will take part again next year to check on progress. 

Nicola Reeves, Group Head of HR, said: “We got involved in the TIDE awards because we wanted to benchmark ourselves and set recognised targets so that we could truly make our workplace as inclusive as possible. Having respect for each other is a central part of what we do as an organisation, and our people feel encouraged to innovate and improve because they are listened to when they speak up.”

Sarah Gosiewska, JT Group Head of Talent, said: "We have put a great deal of energy into improving our training across the business, and I am delighted that it was recognised as being one of the areas that had improved in 2022... There is always more to do, but we are united in our long-term goals.”
