Rethinking worker attraction
“People want to work on Great Projects with Great People in Great Spaces in Great Places.”
I didn’t coin this statement, but it really made me pause when I heard it.
We have always enjoyed seeing companies move into the city that bring a lot of jobs with them. After all, workers spend money in the city at our local businesses, so jobs are important.
Prior to the pandemic, businesses struggled to find good workers. It didn’t matter what kind of business. Good help was hard to find. At this juncture, after such an unsettling year, we may need to view the attraction of workers through a wider lens.
