Embracing change, we continuously question, innovate, and engage in open dialogue to implement groundbreaking ideas and meet the evolving needs of our customers. We also continually strive to apply this approach to how we work with each other, and design the North employee experience.
This is why we’re so proud to have been recently recognized as one of "America's Greatest Workplaces 2025" by Newsweek, achieving a distinguished 4-star rating within the Financial Services Industry category. Additionally, for the second consecutive year, North was named one of "America's Greatest Workplaces for Mental Well-Being." These accolades reflect North's unwavering commitment to fostering a work environment that balances employee satisfaction with business success, ensuring that their team members can thrive.
Newsweek, in collaboration with Plant-A Insights Group, carefully crafted these award programs through a comprehensive evaluation of data, including over 400,000 employee interviews and over 4.9 million comprehensive company reviews. Utilizing Aniline's extensive database, they assessed over 120 key performance indicators, such as leadership, integrity, compensation, and work-life balance, to identify companies that excel in fostering employee satisfaction and engagement.
According to respected Gallup survey data, engaged employees, those who are “highly involved and enthusiastic about their work and workplace,” contribute significantly to increased profitability, productivity, and sales. North’s inclusion in these esteemed lists highlights our success in achieving outstanding workplace satisfaction which also drives important business results.
Kari Lawry, North's Chief People Officer, expressed her pride in these achievements, stating, "We are incredibly honored to be recognized by Newsweek for the second consecutive year as one of America's Greatest Workplaces for Mental Well-Being, and for the first time as one of America's Greatest Workplaces for Financial Services.
This dual recognition is a testament to the unwavering dedication of our People Operations team and our People Leaders across North, who consistently strive to cultivate an environment where the mental well-being of our team members is not just supported, but prioritized."
The importance of mental well-being in the workplace cannot be overstated. A focus on mental health enhances individual productivity and creativity, while fostering a supportive community within the organization. Employees who feel mentally supported are more likely to engage fully with their work and contribute positively to team dynamics. This holistic approach to well-being has been shown to reduce stress, lower absenteeism, and improve overall job satisfaction.
North’s ongoing commitment to mental health initiatives includes offering resources such as counseling services, and flexible work arrangements. These efforts illustrate our understanding that a healthy workplace is one where employees feel valued, both professionally and personally.
Our achievements set an impressive standard in workplace excellence, demonstrating that such recognition is part of an ongoing journey. By continually refining strategies to align with core values and employee needs, North exemplifies how a dedicated approach to workplace culture can yield significant and enduring benefits.
We thank Newsweek for its recognition of our efforts.
