Helping Companies Thrive by Creating Good Jobs

The Good Jobs Institute is on a mission to show companies that they can thrive by creating better jobs, turning on its head the belief that labor is a cost to be cut. In this enhanced version of a recent LEI webinar, Sara Kalloch, the Institute’s executive director, details how this belief leads organizations into a vicious cycle of increasingly poor performance.

Investing in people does not only mean meeting basic needs but also having rigorous hiring and development standards.   

Kalloch then describes the alternative: the Good Jobs Strategy, a framework built on a series of operational choices that create better jobs, leading to better business outcomes. Additionally, she highlights how Quest Diagnostics and Sam’s Club leverage the Good Jobs Strategy to remain atop their respective industries. Throughout the presentation, she points out specific actions leaders take to improve their organization’s performance by improving their jobs.
