JBU received distinct honors for best workplace practices and policies in 10 of 12 categories: collaborative governance; compensation and benefits; confidence in senior leadership; facilities, workspace and security; job satisfaction; respect and appreciation; supervisor/department chair relationship; work/life balance; and professional/career development programs, an new distinction this year.
"It would be impossible to accomplish our mission of preparing students to honor God and serve others without the faithful and dedicated work of our faculty and staff,” said JBU President Chip Pollard. “To know that they continue to enjoy working at JBU year after year is deeply satisfying.”
