The COVID-19 pandemic has changed how we approach job quality, and created a new context for how employers and workers dramatically conceptualize and pursue quality employment. COVID-19 mean that strengthening job quality is more important than ever—both in the short-term to support worker relief and safety, and in the long term to build a more inclusive economy. This special document has been developed to help practitioners respond in the short-term and have begun gathering tools and resources developed by a range of organizations in response to the crisis. Content is organized in four areas: worker health and safety, financial and other supports for workers, policy and workers’ rights, and monitoring and supporting businesses.
