Beyond Great Places to Work: The Business Case for Investing in Front-Line Workers
A good job is the most important factor in helping people escape poverty. How do some employers create consistently high-quality jobs for even front-line employees, while their competitors offer only middling pay and poor employee satisfaction? This event will highlight how companies can invest in their front-line workers to create a better workplace and strong results for customers and shareholders.
The event features three companies from the Hitachi Foundation's Pioneer Employers Initiative, which focuses on the business case for investing in front-line workers. This initiative has identified nearly 100 companies that are securing a sustainable competitive advantage through increased productivity, revenues from new market segments, and improved quality of product or service by creating genuine opportunities for employees to thrive in the workplace and move up the economic ladder.
