Family Friendly: A Core Part of JEA’s Culture
This recognition highlights JEA’s ongoing efforts to create an environment where employees can thrive professionally and personally. Family‑friendly practices aren’t an initiative, but a part of who we are. Tanner Johnson, a new father to twins, states, "At JEA, putting your family first isn’t just accepted—it’s expected and supported, from the coworkers you work beside every day to the leaders at the top of the organization." When employees have the support they need to balance work and home life, they’re better equipped to deliver the high‑quality service our community relies on. This philosophy aligns with the Best Place for Working Parents initiative, which champions the idea that family‑friendly is business‑friendly.
Why This Designation Matters
The Best Place for Working Parents program honors organizations that excel in policies proven to positively impact working families. These include flexible scheduling, parental leave, and comprehensive wellness benefits, as well as policies linked to stronger retention, improved productivity, and greater job satisfaction.
For JEA, these benefits translate directly into a dedicated, engaged workforce that serves our community with professionalism every day. At the heart of this recognition are our employees and the families who support them. Their hard work helps us uphold the reliable, trusted service our community depends on.
Receiving this designation again reinforces JEA’s long‑standing commitment to fostering a workplace where employees feel supported, valued, and empowered to succeed in all aspects of their lives.
