Company Updates
Great place to work. I haven't been this happy at a job in over 20 years.
Pros
Great team. Our work is valued and we feel appreciated. As long as you're meeting your goals and attending daily meetings, the schedule is pretty flexible. That helps a lot, being a single parent.Cons
No real downsides, I'm being totally honestly about that. Every job has it's challenges, especially when being on the forefront of new technology. I wouldn't consider that a downside though. It's more of an upside because we're always learning new things.At JBT we recognize that our global, diverse workforce of dedicated team members is our most valuable asset. With 6000 employees spanning 25 countries, the cultural differences and the variety of ideas that our employees bring with them make us a better company.
We are committed to respecting and valuing all of our employees, embracing and celebrating their differences, and creating a culture of inclusiveness and belonging. Since our inception in 1884, our employee’s journey has been a critical part of our story as a company and one of which we are very proud.
As part of JBT’s commitment to Diversity & Inclusion (D&I), a D&I Council was established at our global headquarters and they have partnered with an industry leader in D&I to develop and launch the JBT Inclusive Leadership Series (ILS).
The ILS is a 6-session program that focuses on providing a series of structured and interactive leadership training sessions to leaders across the organization. The primary objective is to help JBT leaders incorporate inclusive practices into the way they manage their teams. Participants have found the program to be an enriching education through hands-on activities, active discussion, and debate specific to inclusion as a leader and manager. A key outcome is that the program will help leaders embed inclusiveness into their management and leadership style and that they will gain tools and insights to keep this concept at the core of what we do within JBT. However, another exciting outcome is that this approach will create a robust curriculum that will provide valuable D&I leadership development for managers in our various businesses around the world.

JBT has always been a significant contributor to global sustainability, both through continuous improvement within our company and for our customers through products that reduce food waste, water use, emissions, and energy consumption. We see a real opportunity to do more.
Our ESG journey is picking up the pace.
We are intensifying our ESG focus, starting with a comprehensive materiality assessment currently in progress. When we complete this step, ESG will play an integral part in our next growth strategy, with the opportunity to create value in material ways for our customers, company, employees, shareholders, communities, and the world.
Safety and Environmental stewardship are core values of JBT. We understand risk is a part of doing business but make managing this risk is a priority to all our employees. We give employees the proper tools through risk management techniques, training, and empowering employees to stop work if they encounter a risk they perceive as too great. These tools, along with the management belief that all injuries can be prevented drive our EHS program.
Target Zero, “We’re committed to Zero Incidents, Worldwide, Every day.” is more than a strapline; it encapsulates our corporate objective and how we are going to get there. We have to make change happen and be committed to keeping our colleagues safe, across the globe each and every day. We want to make JBT a safer place to work than it is today. The only way this can be achieved is by working together, harmonizing what we do, and creating strong foundations that will help JBT achieve its goals.
The company-wide mindset for measurement will change. We will no longer measure success in our safety performance through incrementally smaller incident rates, but by injury prevention and intervention.
