Jollibee Group Recognized with Gallup Exceptional Workplace Award for the third time

Global workplace consulting and research firm Gallup has once again recognized the Jollibee Group with the Gallup Exceptional Workplace Award. This marks the third time the homegrown restaurant company has received the accolade.

Continues to be the first and only Philippine-based company to have received the global award.

In 2024, the homegrown restaurant chain Jollibee Group will receive its third Gallup Exceptional Workplace Award (GEWA). This recognition demonstrates the company's dedication to employee engagement as a crucial element of its business plan. The Jollibee Group is the only company with its headquarters in the Philippines to win this distinction.

Globally, the GEWA encompasses 2.7 million workers across 100,000 teams. Based on rigorous and in-depth workplace research conducted by Gallup, it recognizes and rewards top-tier companies that embed engagement into their work culture. 

“This recognition was made possible by the countless men and women of the Jollibee Group around the world who contribute and shape our uniquely joyful work culture. Our three-time recognition is timely as it comes at the heels of our best year yet in 2023: a clear manifestation that our business success is deeply interconnected with our people’s success. We remain committed to helping our talents build a career where they can live out their purpose, build meaningful relationships at work, and contribute with their unique talents to our mission of bringing the joy of eating to everyone. We strive hard to make our people not only successful but also happy.” ~Ernesto Tanmantiong, Jollibee Group’s President and Chief Executive Officer

Gallup Chief Executive Officer Jon Clifton congratulated winning organizations for redefining what it means to be a great place to work amid continuing workplace challenges.

“Your commitment to creating environments where employees are listened to, valued, and positioned to use their strengths every day is what sets you apart. Thank you for setting a new global standard in what it means to be a thriving workplace.” ~Jon Clifton, Gallup Chief Executive Officer

A Joyful Work Environment

Jollibee Group’s strengthened People Agenda was key to its record business performance, which was characterized by back-to-back best-ever years in 2022 and 2023. 

Earlier this year, the company defined its Employer Value Proposition “Choose Joy,” which articulates the unique experience of being a Jollibee Group employee and the company’s culture of joy built over the past 46 years.

The Jollibee Group has also continued to elevate the importance of diversity and inclusion (D&I) in its workplace through its D&I vision and commitment to “Joy for All.” The D&I vision aims to cultivate a more joyful and inclusive environment for the team members that power its organization and the consumers and stakeholders that are part of the organization’s ecosystem.

The Jollibee Group first received the GEWA in 2020 amid the pandemic. It was the first time a Philippine-based company had been given such distinction. The company received its second GEWA accolade in 2023, the same year it was included in TIME Magazine’s World’s Best Companies.

Forbes Magazine has also listed the Jollibee Group among the World’s Best Employers for three straight years, from 2020 to 2022. In 2021, Forbes also cited the company in the inaugural listing of the World’s Top Female-Friendly Companies.
