"We help companies think about how you can strategically invest over time, so you can really support your teams to live a great life. And at the same time, how do you design work across the organization, so that every single day when they show up at work, they're doing work that matters." In case you missed it, our Executive Director Sarah Kalloch recently spoke at Fast Company's Innovation Festival with Rachel Korberg, Cofounder and Executive Director of the The Families and Workers Fund.

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."
The Good Jobs Institute helps companies support frontline employees while also boosting revenue. The key to the strategy is “you invest in people, and you make choices that make their work more productive and enable higher contributions,” founder Zeynep Ton says.
This nonprofit is proving that creating good jobs is good business
