"This is a tremendous honor because it embodies our purpose of partnering to make a positive impact in the lives of our clients and colleagues, and together, benefit our communities and society," says Kristin Johnson, Chief Human Resources Officer and Chief Transformation Officer for Edward Jones. "It's been a challenging year for many investors, and our financial advisors, branch office administrators and home office associates have really come together as one Edward Jones team to serve our clients' needs in a comprehensive way. This has included going beyond finances to focus on the well-being of our clients and their families, their health and yes, connecting with their purpose."

Edward Jones ranked No. 1 in products and marketing, compensation and professional development.

"We are a place of belonging at Edward Jones – a welcoming and productive environment where people feel comfortable to bring their full selves to work and all can achieve their full potential – inclusive of their different backgrounds and experiences," Johnson added. "That feeling of belonging translates into supportive behaviors such as willingness to recommend.  It also is what enables our firm to grow its impact and add value to our clients, colleagues and communities."
