Summary of The Good Jobs Strategy (Zeynep Ton)
Book Abstract
It is widely accepted in some business circles that to make money, you have to keep your costs down and your prices low by paying employees as little as possible. This can be termed as the bad jobs
strategy – where employees are treated as a necessary expense you aim to minimize.
However, there are successful companies in business today which go in the opposite direction.
They utilize what can be termed a good jobs
strategy – they invest in their people and provide jobs with decent pay, great benefits and stable work schedules so their people can perform well.
What's interesting is that even though the good jobs companies spend more on labor, they are still competing in the marketplace to offer consumers the lowest prices. The good jobs strategy companies excel at operations which is the secret sauce
of making the good jobs strategy work.
When you have a well-motivated workforce who use operations in savvy ways, you can end up with a company which not only delivers good jobs to employees but also strong returns to investors and low prices to consumers simultaneously. You just have to be able to combine investment in people with operational smarts.
The good jobs strategy is a blend of investment in people and in operational design. It is the combination of investment in employees with operational choices that produces excellence and breaks the low prices / good jobs trade-off.
