Senior Managers

​

• In larger companies and organisations creating the infrastructure may be delegated to others, e.g. HRM, but senior management involvement is essential to set the aspiration.

• Initiate the process and be proactive about providing good jobs.

• Incorporate the good jobs aspiration into line manager training and support.

• Ensure everyone in the workplace has contributed to finding the best combination of approaches to providing good jobs throughout the different parts of the business or organisation.

• Review regularly and seek to improve.

 

Line Managers

​

• Find out whether you are providing good jobs. Use guided questioning to determine whether the jobs you manage are sufficiently comfortable and engaging.

• Identify potential improvements and make changes, recognising that creating good jobs is an aspirational goal to keep working toward.

• Identify where skills need to be developed to help workers cope with unavoidable aspects of jobs that are unpleasant or uncomfortable.

• Communicate effectively to senior management and workers about what can be realistically achieved toward providing good jobs.

 

Workers

​

• Participate in open communication about how to make good jobs.

• Question line managers when the process of providing good jobs is not occurring.

• Respect and support your colleagues.

 

 

Senior Management sets the approach. Line Managers make it happen. Workers contribute to the process.
