The Low Cost of Good Jobs
SkillUp Washington and the Aspen Institute Economic Opportunities Program have invited MIT Sloan professor Zeynep Ton to Seattle for a talk on how companies can offer more jobs, keep prices down, and improve service for customers all while boosting their own profits. The magic formula: properly investing in their employees.
Ton, whose book The Good Jobs Strategy: How the Smartest Companies Invest in Employees to Lower Costs & Boost Profits hit
shelves in January, sees Costco as an example of a company that gets it.
Costco Director, Executive VP, and CFO Richard Galanti (the man's got titles!) will be there too, offering some insights from his experience.
