There Still Aren’t Enough “Good Jobs”

Companies around the world are struggling to fill open positions,
while millions of unemployed people look for work. What's going on?
Zeynep Ton, professor at the MIT Sloan School of Management, says
that organizations need to start offering better jobs. While
old-school management thinking argued for paying workers only as
much money as the market dictated and squeezing every last bit of
efficiency out of them to maximize profits, the 21st century
requires a new approach. This starts with higher wages but also
includes more predictability and flexibility. In the wake of the
global pandemic that brought essential workers to the forefront,
Ton explains what companies have done - and can do - to create more
good jobs in society.
