The case for good jobs — and why they're good for business too | Zeynep Ton
Manage episode 443921146 series 12006
Many of the jobs that keep the world running — like cleaning bathrooms, picking up trash, caring for the elderly — pay so poorly that workers can barely make ends meet. Nonprofit leader Zeynep Ton is intent on changing that, showing why everyone wins when companies pay their people livable wages and offer opportunities for growth. After the talk, Modupe digs into why money shouldn’t be spent solely on recruiting, training and hiring new talent — but also investing in existing employees.
