A competitive salary and solid #healthcare benefits are important, but they alone don’t make a job a #QualityJob. Jobs for the Future (JFF) understands that a truly quality job is about much more—it’s about creating an environment where workers can thrive holistically. That’s why JFF developed the Quality Jobs Framework, a comprehensive tool for employers to ensure they meet the full spectrum of workers’ needs. This framework goes beyond the basics, addressing factors like career growth opportunities, work-life balance, job security, and a supportive work culture. By implementing the Quality Jobs Framework, employers can build workspaces that empower every employee to succeed, not just in their roles but in their lives. Because, at the end of the day, a quality job supports the personal and professional #wellbeing of the #workforce. #JFFImapact #LaborDay
What makes a job a “quality job”? JFF’s Quality Jobs Framework defines a quality job as one that includes––in addition to good pay and benefits—the flexibility, autonomy, stability, and advancement opportunities that are essential for people to thrive. Want to learn more about #JobQuality? Keep an eye out as we explore the Quality Jobs Framework over the next two weeks! https://hubs.la/Q02LwYl60 #LaborDay #QualityJobs
