Jack Henry ranked 11^th among 100 U.S. companies recognized for outstanding employee sentiment and satisfaction

NEW YORK, Sept. 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Newsweek today announced their annual rankings for the Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces^® list, and Jack Henry™ (Nasdaq: JKHY) was ranked #11, up six spots from last year.

The 2023 Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces^® are the result of Newsweek's collaboration with the Best Practice Institute (BPI), a leadership development and benchmark research company. The results were determined after surveying more than 1.4 million employees from businesses with workforces varying in size from 50 to more than 10,000. The list recognizes companies that have created a workplace where employees feel respected, inspired, and appreciated and are at the center of the business model.  

"This award truly celebrates our exceptional associates and the engagement, energy, and collaborative spirit they bring to work every day," said Jack Henry Board Chair and CEO David Foss. "I'm grateful for the opportunity to work alongside this wonderful team that is committed to taking care of one another and our valued clients."  

The key areas included in the analysis are based on how well companies demonstrate the areas within the Spark Model as defined by BPI including Systemic Collaboration, Positive Vision of the Future, Alignment of values, Respect, and Killer Achievement. Employee sentiments and emotions indicating how engaged employees are, how positive they feel about their workplace, and how committed they are to the organization's success were analyzed to identify the Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces.

"With the dynamic workforce and competition for top talent, more companies are recognizing the importance of employee engagement and commitment", said Nancy Cooper, Global Editor in Chief, Newsweek. "The workplaces that have demonstrated a commitment to their employees in 2023 are more likely to attract top talent and deliver strong business outcomes."

"Attracting and retaining top talent continues to be a challenge and top priority of executive leadership" said Louis Carter, CEO, Best Practice Institute. "The companies on this list have committed to listening intently to their employees and then creating a better workplace where employees love to come to work."

Methodology
To identify the top 100 companies for the Newsweek ranking, companies were evaluated and scored as follows: 35 percent of the initial score was based on employee survey responses; 25 percent was derived from analysis of external public ratings from sites such as Comparably, Careerbliss, Glassdoor, Indeed and Google; and 40 percent came from direct interviews with and written responses from company officials. Newsweek then conducted additional research into every company on the list, as well as the top runners up, to determine the final list of 100 companies and their ranking. (The list includes both U.S. firms and companies with a strong U.S. presence that are based overseas.)
