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.

Good Job Inventory: Understand and Measure the Quality of Jobs You Offer
Use this tool to check what you’re doing well and where you can improve in six categories: hiring and onboarding, compensation, benefits and perks, workplace culture, employee development and advancement, and operations. To help both your employees succeed and your business grow, use this tool to find out which elements of a good job you already have and get ideas for making your jobs even better in the future. The results will guide you in adding features that attract and retain a strong workforce, ultimately strengthening your company.
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.
