Jetts Fitness keeps employee happiness in shape with ‘life-work-blend’ formula

When Jetts Fitness was named the second best place to work in Australia last week, its CEO, Elaine Jobson knew that the results aligned with the company’s vision to be the country’s most loved gym.

Jobson, who heads the fitness franchise that has over 270 gyms across six countries — told Women’s Agenda that building a strong company is all about understanding the importance of relationships — both relationships with employees and with the gym’s members.

“We believe in what’s called ‘good profit’ and because of the relationships we have, we are able to foster more happiness, which means that by default, our people stay longer and our members stay longer,” she said.
