The Job Quality Maps

What business results are possible when you redesign jobs and workplaces?

These job quality outcome maps help demonstrate that good jobs are not just good for workers — they are good for business.

Based on decades of scientific management research, which were developed for the National Fund for Workforce Solutions by researchers at Washington University in St. Louis and WORC, the maps illustrate the relationships between five universal and validated business metrics and 26 job design choices.

They help demonstrate that good jobs are not just good for workers — they are good for business.

The scientific evidence is clear – worthwhile frontline jobs lead directly to:

  • Lower turnover intentions

  • Greater employee engagement

  • More commitment to the organization

  • Less burnout

  • Better job performance

The Job Quality Maps are one of our foundational tools for quality job design solutions that meet business objectives and align business imperatives with KPIs.

This isn’t a one size fits all approach.

WORC uses expert research techniques to ensure valid and reliable results – we base our intervention design on scientific evidence to ensure a strong correlation with improving targeted business metrics.
