What is the goal of the JLens Workplace Tracker?

The JLens Workplace Tracker is a transparency-focused tool that assesses the existence of corporate policies and practices across key areas. The Tracker seeks to:

• Encourage companies to adopt and strengthen policies that can help create safe, inclusive, and supportive environments for Jewish employees. 
• Equip current employees, prospective employees, and other stakeholders with insights into corporate workplace practices related to antisemitism and religious accommodations. 
• Foster a culture of transparency and continuous improvement through public reporting.

It is important to note that the Tracker is not a comprehensive assessment of any company’s overall conduct, a ranking or rating of companies, or even a reflection of the experience of Jewish employees at the companies. The Tracker should not be relied upon for any legal advice, investment advice, or other financial advice.

How does the JLens Workplace Tracker connect to existing laws and federal guidance?

The Tracker does not measure any company’s legal compliance, including its compliance with the policies noted, and does not provide legal advice.  

Does JLens support religious accommodations for employees of other faiths?

Yes. JLens supports religious accommodation for employees of all faiths. The Tracker focuses on workplace topics that impact Jewish employees (e.g., antisemitism training, Jewish ERGs) because that is JLens’s area of expertise and because antisemitism has risen sharply since October 7, 2023. JLens believes building stronger religious accommodation practices generally tends to improve the workplace for everyone.

If religious accommodations are legally required, why is a Tracker needed?

The Tracker does not assess legal compliance or how individual accommodation requests are handled. It assesses whether companies publicly disclose specific policies and practices that make religious accommodations more visible and accessible, such as floating holidays, prayer space, dietary accommodations, religious holiday calendars, and communicated accommodation procedures. These metrics help distinguish between a general legal obligation and concrete, publicly documented workplace practices. 

Is JLens paid by the companies it assesses, and how does it stay independent?

No. Companies do not pay to be included in the Tracker. Every company among the 100 largest U.S. public companies by market capitalization in the JLens 500 Jewish Advocacy U.S. Index as of June 30, 2025 was assessed under the same methodology. Index inclusion determines which companies are assessed, but it does not affect what medal a company receives, and a company’s assessment does not affect its place or weighting in the Index. The Tracker is not investment advice or a recommendation to buy, hold, or sell any security. 

Why does the JLens Workplace Tracker use a medal-based system?

A company’s score is associated with a medal: Gold, Silver, or Bronze. Not Rated is assigned when there is insufficient data to score a company. The medal-based system is intended to highlight and incentivize positive progress. By recognizing companies for their achievements, the Tracker encourages broader adoption of these practices over time. Medals reflect JLens’s assessment under JLens’ methodology and the information available to JLens at the time of assessment. Medals are not a comprehensive evaluation of the company, its workplace culture, or its treatment of employees, and if a company does not receive a medal, that does not mean that JLens views it negatively – only that it did not have enough information for scoring. 

Does a Gold company mean that JLens endorses the company?

Medals reflect the existence of the workplace policies and practices that JLens believes are most impactful to Jewish employees.  They are not endorsements of how any company operates, its product, or other business practices. A Gold medal recognizes a company as best-in-class for adopting policies and practices that help build a better workplace for Jewish employees. It does not mean that every Jewish employee has or will have a positive experience there. A Bronze or Not Rated designation should not be read negatively. In some cases, limited public information contributed to a lower designation rather than the absence of a policy or practice. The scoring framework reflects JLens’s judgment about which policies and practices are most relevant to supporting Jewish employees and addressing antisemitism.

What does an “Unknown” score designation mean?

An “Unknown” score designation indicates that JLens was unable to identify sufficient public or company-provided information to assess the metric. “Unknown” score designations receive no points. If a company has an “Unknown” score for a policy that they have, we encourage them to provide it and are happy to update the Tracker. 

What does a “No” score designation mean?

A “No” score designation denotes an instance in which JLens believes that a company does not have a policy or practice in place associated with a specific metric. “No” score designations receive no points.

What does a “Yes” score designation mean?

A “Yes” score designation denotes an instance in which JLens believes that a company has a policy or practice in place associated with a specific metric. Each metric is associated with a point value, so each time a company is assessed as “Yes,” it gains points toward its total score.

How did JLens source its data?

JLens sources its data from publicly available information, such as company disclosures, webpages, press releases, and company-reported information. JLens’ assessment does not capture non-public policies, informal practices, or employee experiences that were not disclosed to JLens or otherwise available for review. 

Were companies contacted about this company scorecard?

Companies received initial outreach and were given the opportunity to provide company-reported information relevant to their assessment. As the scorecards are part of a dynamic tracker, companies are welcome to engage with JLens at any time and their scorecard may be updated based on the updated assessment under JLens’ methodology.

How can I request an update to my company’s scorecard?

Companies can provide comments using the “Get in touch” link at the bottom of their scorecard. Company scores may be updated on a periodic basis as new information becomes available.  

What do you mean by “Jewish ERG?”

In the Tracker, JLens assesses whether a company has a Jewish Employee Resource Group (ERG) or similar type of affinity group. Across companies, there can be a range of formality, company sponsorship and naming conventions for ERGs; though in all cases they tend to be employee lead and focused on a specific interest or purpose. JLens took a broad interpretation of Jewish ERGs and considered both formal and informal Jewish-focused groups that may be present at a company.

Is the JLens Workplace Tracker a rating or ranking of companies?

No. The JLens Workplace Tracker is designed as a transparency and engagement tool, not a ranking or a judgement of any other aspect of the company, its products or services. The Tracker uses positive recognition to highlight certain workplace practices that may support Jewish employees and help address antisemitism. It is not intended to and should not be relied upon as investment, legal, or other financial advice.
