What qualities make a job truly great? SHRM asked 16,000 workers of different types across 16 countries this exact question in a new report — and now host Anne Sparaco is on the case with Jenny Perez, a member of the SHRM thought leadership team who led the research, to dive deep into the data: what workers really value, why gaps exist with how they ranked their own job, and how employers can close those gaps fast.
Starting with “hot takes” on good jobs from members of our audience, Anne and Jenny work their way through probing questions, common misconceptions, and a final opinion lightning round. Together, they uncover what leaders can do to build a more satisfied and motivated workforce, retain their people, and ultimately drive critical business outcomes.
