The Good Jobs Strategy

How the Smartest Companies Invest in Employees to Lower Costs and Boost Profits

Zeynep Ton

This book challenges the conventional wisdom that business success comes at the expense of employee well-being. Zeynep Ton argues that, even in low-cost settings, providing good jobs can lead to lower costs, higher profits, and greater customer satisfaction. Full of counterintuitive insights, Ton's research highlights successful companies, such as Costco and Trader Joe's, that prioritize employee satisfaction alongside customer needs. This book outlines a blueprint for any organization that wants to pursue a sustainable competitive strategy in which everyone - employees, customers, and investors - wins.

Also check out @zeynepton's Good Jobs Strategy book for some FANTASTIC info about how to organize a business for good working conditions & wages. It's both very much against the MBA consensus & super well-backed by research into real business's results with alternative methods.      source
