Thirty of America's Largest Public Companies Recognized for Workplace Policies Relevant to Jewish Employees

Inaugural JLens Workplace Tracker assesses the 100 largest U.S. public companies based on key policies and practices, released ahead of the Jewish High Holidays.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--JLens, a nonprofit and SEC-registered investment advisor that empowers investors to align their capital with Jewish values and works with companies to address antisemitism and support Jewish employees, today launched the JLens Workplace Tracker (“Workplace Tracker”), available online at https://www.jlensnetwork.org/jlens-workplace-tracker/.

The Workplace Tracker is a transparency and engagement tool that documents whether certain workplace policies and practices that support Jewish employees exist at the 100 largest U.S. public companies by market capitalization in the JLens 500 Jewish Advocacy U.S. Index.

JLens built the Workplace Tracker in response to the sharp rise in antisemitism since October 7, 2023, and to what JLens has learned engaging companies and Jewish employees since 2012. It is designed to recognize companies that have adopted these policies and to give employees, companies, and other stakeholders a common reference point. It is not a ranking, and it assigns no failing grades or negative labels; nor is it an assessment of the environment for Jewish employees at these companies.

All 100 companies were assessed against the same 14 metrics. 30 received medal designations and the remaining 70 are listed as Not Rated, meaning the available information was not sufficient to complete an assessment under the methodology. Not Rated is not a finding that a company performs poorly, and JLens may update any scorecard when a company provides it with information it did not have.

Recognized companies

• Gold: Amazon, Bank of America, Cisco, JPMorgan Chase, KKR, Pfizer, S&P Global, Spotify, and Uber.
• Silver: Accenture, Coca-Cola, Eli Lilly, GE Vernova, Intuit, Meta, Microsoft, Salesforce, and Thermo Fisher Scientific.
• Bronze: AbbVie, Adobe, Alphabet, American Express, Apple, Citigroup, CrowdStrike, Medtronic, Morgan Stanley, Netflix, Palo Alto Networks, and Texas Instruments.

"Asking for religious accommodation is not easy. A new Jewish employee who has not accrued enough time off, facing the Jewish High Holidays a few weeks into the job, has to decide whether to raise it with a manager they barely know," said Ari Hoffnung, Managing Director of JLens. "When a company publishes its religious accommodation policy and walks new hires through it at orientation, that employee is asking for something routine rather than something extraordinary. That is one of 14 policies and practices the Workplace Tracker looks at. The companies recognized here are the ones putting information where people can find it."

Alongside the Workplace Tracker, JLens published The JLens Workplace Guide: Practices that Support Jewish Employees at Work, a guide covering seven practices with steps for getting started and examples from companies that have adopted it, including KKR’s Jewish Heritage Network, Alphabet's scheduling guide for religious holidays, Citigroup’s floating Heritage Day, and Salesforce’s multifaith prayer space. The guide is available at https://www.jlensnetwork.org/jlens-workplace-tracker/guide/.

During the upcoming Jewish holiday season, an observant Jewish employee will miss several workdays for Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Shemini Atzeret, and Simchat Torah. Sabbath observance means ending work before sundown on Fridays year-round. Floating holidays, flexible scheduling, and a shared holiday calendar all help.

Why it matters

Research on Jewish employees and job applicants points to gaps worth companies’ attention:

• In Jewish@Work 2024, a survey of 1,474 Jewish employees conducted by Clal, 47 percent agreed that their workplace has policies in place that protect Jewish employees. Nineteen percent disagreed and 34 percent were unsure. Thirteen percent said they had considered leaving a job because of their experience as a Jew at work.
  
  
• In a field experiment sponsored by the ADL Center for Antisemitism Research and conducted independently by labor economist Bryan Tomlin, 3,000 inquiries were sent to administrative assistant job postings across the United States using résumés that were identical except for signals of the applicant's background. Jewish American applicants needed to send 24 percent more applications than applicants with Western European backgrounds to receive the same number of positive responses. Israeli American applicants needed to send 39 percent more.

What the Workplace Tracker measures

The Workplace Tracker scores 14 metrics across three categories: Jewish Experience in the Workplace, Religious Accommodations, and Workplace Protections. Metrics include whether a company has a Jewish employee resource group, conducts antisemitism training, permits religious attire, provides floating holidays for religious observance, offers prayer or reflection space, accommodates religious dietary needs, and maintains a confidential reporting mechanism and non-retaliation policy. The metrics also address discrimination based on ancestry, since Jewish identity is ethnic and ancestral as well as religious. Many metrics are faith-neutral and address policies and practices relevant to employees across faith traditions. The full metric list and scoring methodology are at https://www.jlensnetwork.org/jlens-workplace-tracker/methodology/.

Companies were selected based on market capitalization within the JLens 500 Jewish Advocacy U.S. Index as of June 30, 2025. JLens collected data from publicly available sources, supplemented by company-reported information gathered through questionnaires and calls with company representatives. Companies do not pay to be included. The Workplace Tracker documents the existence of the policies and practices; it does not measure Jewish employees' experiences at any company or the enforcement of such policies.

The full JLens Workplace Tracker, including company scorecards, is available at https://www.jlensnetwork.org/jlens-workplace-tracker/. Companies can submit updated information through the “Get in touch” link at the bottom of each scorecard or email JLens at [e-mail].
