In this second installment of our Good Jobs series, Jessi sits down with Zeynep Ton, founder of MIT’s Good Jobs Institute and author of the new research-driven book, The Case for Good Jobs: How Great Companies Bring Dignity, Pay, and Meaning to Everyone's Work. Zeynep argues that a good job should provide sufficient pay to give individuals agency in their personal and professional lives. She dives into the importance of stable schedules and adequate hours, as well as the need for companies to consider the entire system of a good job, not just isolated aspects. She emphasizes the need for businesses to break the cycle of mistrust and invest in their workforce to drive success. This conversation provides valuable insights into what constitutes a good job and how businesses can transform their approach to benefit both employees and the bottom line.
