About This Resource
This session was part of our 2024 REDF Community Retreat in Los Angeles, CA.
Session Description
What is a “quality job” and how can ESEs improve the experience of participant workers? We will address these questions with a hands-on workshop, after which attendees will walk away feeling more confident about what “quality jobs” can look like within their own organizations and an action plan for one (or more!) steps they can take to improve job quality at their ESE.
By the end of the session you will have
- An understanding of how other ESEs are thinking about quality jobs
- One concrete way to test or incorporate an element of a quality job into my ESE
This session is designed for ESEs that offer, are building, or hoping to improve the employee success structures within their enterprise. Additionally, these leaders are considering what elements outside of a paycheck promote a greater sense of wellbeing for participants and employees.
