Great article from Massachusetts Institute of Technology that shares both why and how many companies have been adopting the good jobs strategy. "'At the end of the workshop, there’s some urgency among the leaders to change, and some alignment around the types of changes needed to get there,' Ton says. 'And then we work with companies to help them articulate why they need to improve frontline work, who needs to be involved, and what changes to make first.' Ton says a lot of the institute’s work revolves around emphasizing to companies that the strategy is a system and that individual changes, like raising pay, will not work in isolation."
