What makes a job “good” – and the case for investing in people – TED Business, Warren Valdmanis

Investing in teams is critical for business success and can help an organisation thrive. The value of investing in a team lies in the fact that it allows organisations to develop both their existing employees and attract new hires. By providing resources for employees to improve their skills, advance their careers, and better collaborate with each other, businesses can increase efficiency and productivity.

Social impact investor Warren Valdmanis shares his research on what makes a job “good”, correlates to productivity, and helps to build better companies. He outlines four critical factors that contribute significantly to employee satisfaction, retention, and improves performance. He emphasises how investing in people-first practices are essential elements of a successful team.
