Aspen Institute Quality Job Tools Library

The Aspen Institute's Economic Opportunities Program developed this Job Quality Tools Library to provide actionable tools – including checklists, instructions, and guidelines – to help leaders adopt practices to strengthen job quality in their own organizations, in the businesses they work with, and across labor markets. The library also includes supplemental resources that provide additional information related to many of the tools. Equity-focused resources are included throughout the library, reflecting EOP’s belief in the importance of centering equity in all efforts to improve job quality – as well as our conviction that job quality and equity are mutually reinforcing. For example, increasing wages for all front-line service sector workers – who are disproportionately women of color – can help close economic gaps across race and gender. And focused strategies to foster more equitable, inclusive workplaces can strengthen job quality.
