Show Notes

Disengaged workers cost the US Economy $450-550 billion per year. How do we move from this to ensuring that employees are engaged and satisfied? Keesa is speaking with Sarah Bratton-Hughes, Head of Sustainability, North America at Schroders, discussing the the theme of 'quality jobs'. Sarah believes this is not as simple as meaning just 'higher wages', but it is about including other key needs and opportunities, how the jobs impact companies and their culture and the statistics in relation to the demographic of women and women of color.
