Aspen is a place for leaders to lift their sights above the possessions which possess them. To confront their own nature as human beings, to regain control over their own humanity by becoming more self-aware, more self-correcting, and hence more self-fulfilling.
A Good Job is a job that has a combination of features that contribute to employees’ economic stability, economic mobility, and dignity. Why should good jobs matter to you, the business owner?
We offer tools to help you to improve the quality of the jobs you offer. This ‘Creating Good Jobs Module,’ gives an overview of the eight resources that help you learn what a good job actually is, what it means to offer a good job, why it is important, and where you can get started.
All resources were developed by Northern Initiatives in partnership with the Aspen Institute Economic Opportunities Program as part of the Shared Success demonstration.
Shared Success, a project of the Aspen Institute Economic Opportunities Program, shows how building better jobs can simultaneously uplift workers while also driving small business success.
