Good Jobs Score 2016

Welcome to the Good Jobs Score 2016! This year the Score has a new look, as the project is now jointly-hosted between Zeynep Ton and the Martin Prosperity Institute. Professor Ton is a fellow of the Institute, working closely with MPI to reform democratic capitalism in the United States.

Like the 2015 Score, the Good Jobs Score continues to be an informative index of how companies design and manage their operations in a way that creates value for their customers and investors while offering good jobs to their employees. The Good Jobs Strategy is a sustainable business and operations strategy in which everyone — customers, employees, and investors — wins.

The Good Jobs Score was created with several goals in mind: from helping investors identify sustainable companies in a particular industry to customers looking to vote with their wallets at companies that provide great value while taking care of their employees. We also created the score to motivate companies to develop and report standardized measures of employee satisfaction, customer satisfaction and productivity. As explained in the methodology* section, the data used to develop the score are limited and have some drawbacks.

The Good Jobs Score was developed by Zeynep Ton and her students, and remains a prototype for the kinds of reporting that are possible. Please help us improve it by providing feedback!
