The obstacle is the way. That was the refrain we kept coming back to yesterday at Jobs for the Future (JFF)'s Impact Employer Summit in a room full of 100+ leaders for a hands-on day of working through one of the most consequential obstacles of our time – building a world of work in the age of AI that is more human, not less. It will not be easy but it is entirely possible, especially with the room JFF assembled where… ⚫ 8M employees, including 6M frontline workers are employed by leaders in the room ⚫ 50% of leaders are from Fortune 500 companies ⚫ 25% of leaders are from Fortune 100 companies The way forward for us is not a path any one company can go down alone. Our way forward requires partnership and shared commitments around ambitious goals. And it increasingly requires every company to be pro-human – investing and believing more in the power of people that technology will help unleash instead of the other way around. To help us mobilize together, the JFF team just launched a new Impact Employer Model that can help any company take clear steps towards building a more transparent and equitable labor market.
