Elevating the Quality of Work for Everyone

Beyond job creation, employment participation, and skills development, we must also consider the quality of the work as a positive contributor to Canada’s future of work.

Improving the conditions under which people work will benefit all. Low wages, benefits, health and safety, autonomy, voice, security, flexible work, and other factors that have disproportionately affected underserved and marginalized populations can be improved to help employers with the challenge of recruiting, retaining, and growing workers. Positive changes to these components of quality of work (QoW) can also create a stronger, more productive workforce and a flourishing labour market for the future.

On February 27, we convened a national conversation to dive deep into what constitutes quality work in Canada for both workers and employers, explore how high quality work can advance inclusive prosperity for all and contribute to a stronger workforce and flourishing job market.
