DESIGN BETTER JOBS TO BUILD STRONGER PIPELINES.

How jobs are designed directly impacts whether workers apply, stay, and thrive—and whether businesses can attract and retain the talent they need to grow. The TPM Job Quality Resource Guide provides Talent Pipeline Management® practitioners, employers, and their partners with a practical framework and tools to address talent pain points by improving the quality of critical jobs. Grounded in the TPM® approach, this guide introduces eight key job quality features and offers actionable resources for both practitioners and employers to lead job design efforts that create shared value for workers, businesses, and communities.
