New record: 21 JYSK countries celebrate Employer Awards

More JYSK countries than ever have received an award or certification as proof of being a good place to work. Across 21 countries, employer awards and certifications such as ‘Top Employer’, ‘Great Place to Work’, and ‘Inspiring Workplace’ have been awarded.

During the years, JYSK has been recognised several times for being a great place to work through acclaimed workplace certifications. This financial year, the number of certifications reaches a new high point, when 21 JYSK countries can celebrate multiple employer awards and certifications.

"We are proud that so many JYSK departments and countries are being recognised for their hard work and dedication to making JYSK a great place to work," says Camilla Ölander, Head of Talent Acquisition at JYSK.

Acknowledged as one of the World's Best Employers

It is the first time that so many JYSK countries receive an employer award or certification. 10 countries receive the certification of ‘Top Employer’ meaning that JYSK as a company is recognised as one of the top employers in Europe. JYSK is also ranked globally by Forbes as one of the ‘World’s Best Employers’.

Many countries are awarded local certifications. JYSK Italy is not only certified as ‘Top Employer Italy’ but is also recognised as recipient of the ‘Certification of Gender Equity’. In addition, JYSK Switzerland can celebrate the certification ‘Bester Arbeitgeber’ as well as ‘Top Employer Switzerland’.

JYSK Spain has a history of workplace certifications and once again receives the ‘Great Place to Work’ certification for the second time. JYSK Sweden is awarded the title ‘Career Company’ for the third time, which describes the most attractive employer for students and young professionals in Sweden.

JYSK scores high on job satisfaction across countries

The many awards and certifications strengthen JYSK's position as an attractive workplace, but they are not the only indications that JYSK is a great place to work.

According to JYSK's latest employee satisfaction survey from 2024, JYSK scores 75 out of 100 points on job satisfaction and motivation among employees across all JYSK countries. A result that is more important than certifications, according to Camilla Ölander.

“The most important thing is that our people are motivated and satisfied,” she says and continues: “JYSK should be a great offer for all employees, and our internal surveys show that our company values - Tradesman, Colleague, and Corporate Spirit - are valid in all JYSK countries.”
