Better Me + Better You = Better Us

Next Jump – Building a Culture of Mattering

At Next Jump, mattering isn’t just a feel-good concept—it’s the foundation of everything they do. This isn’t a company that simply talks about culture; they live it. They know that when people feel truly valued, they show up differently—more engaged, more innovative, more invested. So, they built a workplace where employees don’t just work; they grow, thrive, and know they matter. 

🔹 Next Jump implemented the Better Me + Better You philosophy, which fosters continuous learning and mentorship, ensuring that employees feel invested in both personal and professional growth.
🔹 Their leadership development program includes Situational Workshops, where employees role-play real-life workplace challenges to cultivate empathy and leadership skills. This has led to a 90% retention rate, significantly higher than the industry average.
🔹 Next Jump also pioneered the Deliberately Developmental Organization (DDO) model, where employees are encouraged to be vulnerable, ask for help, and receive real-time feedback. Employees report higher job satisfaction and deeper connections with colleagues, leading to stronger collaboration and innovation.
🔹 During challenging times, such as economic downturns, the company prioritized internal job creation over layoffs—ensuring that employees always felt like they truly mattered.

The Science Behind Mattering at Work

The impact of fostering a culture of mattering isn’t just anecdotal—it’s backed by research. Studies have found:

📌 Employees who feel valued are 4.6 times more likely to feel empowered to do their best work (Harvard Business Review).

📌 Companies with a strong sense of belonging see a 56% increase in job performance and a 50% drop in turnover risk (BetterUp, 2021).

📌 Organizations that prioritize psychological safety and open feedback cultures—like Next Jump—see an improvement in team innovation by up to 60% (Google’s Project Aristotle).
