PLANO,
Texas, May 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- JPAR®, a
growing name in the real estate industry, has been recognized as a
2024 Top Franchise for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion by
Entrepreneur. This accolade underscores the company's commitment to
promoting a culture of openness and an organization committed to
mirroring the communities served among the network of franchisees,
staff and agents.
JPAR® recognized as a 2024 Top Franchise
for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion by Entrepreneur.
Entrepreneur's ranking system for this award category is
distinctive, relying on subjective editorial assessment rather than
numerical rankings. The brands that have made it to the list are
selected based on various factors, including incentives to support
underrepresented groups, diversity within franchisee ranks,
leadership team diversity, and other DEI initiatives.
"We are truly honored to be recognized by Entrepreneur as a top
franchise for diversity, equity, and inclusion," said Laura O'Connor, President & COO, JPAR's
Affiliate Network. "At JPAR, we have always believed in the
strength of bringing together people with diverse backgrounds and
experiences to help ensure we are building a brand that is
representative of the communities we serve; this acknowledgment
reaffirms our commitment to fostering an inclusive environment for
our franchisees and team members."
Tiffani Marroquin, Director of
Expansion at JPAR's Affiliated Network has worked hard to identify
and support owners from a variety of geographic and demographic
backgrounds. "By being intentional in our outreach, 50% of new
owners that opened affiliated offices nationwide in 2023 came from
diverse groups that are under-represented in real estate leadership
roles. To be one of only a handful of real estate brands
represented across the entire franchise space makes this
recognition especially meaningful."
JPAR has demonstrated its dedication to DEI through various
initiatives, including franchise fee discounts for veterans and
contributions to nonprofit organizations that align with the
communities served by our new owners. The organization also
contributes to initiatives supported by their affiliates at the
local level like the Polar Plunge fundraising activities for
Special Olympics or natural disaster relief.
JPAR's recognition as a 2024 Top Franchise for Diversity,
Equity, and Inclusion reflects its dedication to fostering a
diverse and inclusive franchise system.
