“This honor is meaningful to us because it reflects how our people genuinely feel about working here,” said *Aaron B. Montenegro, JDN President and CEO*. “Ang sukatan ng isang magandang kumpanya ay hindi kung gaano ito kalaki, kundi kung paano inaalagaan ang mga taong bumubuo nito.”
*Arni Valdez, JDN Chairperson*, underscored the role of culture and malasakit.
“The culture, the care, and the heart and malasakit that each one of you brings every single day is effectively a realization of how our founders envisioned a Nepo company,” he said.
Great Place to Work Philippines client solutions manager, Bianca Patenia explained the integrity of the certification: “It’s not something you pay for. It’s based on the answers of employees.”
Certification is valid for one year and must be renewed annually to ensure feedback remains current.
Montenegro added: “Being great is not a destination, but a daily choice—a choice to care, to listen, and to lead with purpose.”
Valdez concluded: “JDN has always been more than a business. It is a community, a family, and a place where people are encouraged to grow and be at their best.”
