Which company is the best employer in Jamaica?

Ten of Jamaica’s most worker-centric companies have been nominated for the inaugural Gordon “Butch” Stewart Business Leader Award.

The programme, which is being staged under the theme ‘Business Leader: Employer of Choice’, will highlight the success that many of the country’s forward-looking boardrooms have had in introducing global best practices culture to their workforce.

The Jamaica Observer Media Group, which promotes the award project will, within the next few days, begin publishing stories on the firms that made the final list of 10 nominees. These institutions were trimmed down from an initial group of 60, then 40 which were further culled to 25. From this list, the final 10 nominees ultimately floated to the top — separated in part by the compelling responses they submitted to an exhaustive and multifaceted questionnaire that, in its totality, teased out the most telling aspects of their industrial relations ethos and practices.
