WORC Receives Research Grant From The Ford Foundation Mission Investments Team And JUST Capital

In March 2023, WORC became the proud recipient of a generous research grant from the Mission Investments team at the Ford Foundation and JUST Capital. Selected as part of a cohort of grantees to conduct research on human capital management, we are examining the effects of frontline workers’ job quality on the financial and human capital management outcomes of private-equity-owned companies.

For the first stage of this research, we are kicking off by speaking with KKR, TPG, Schroders, and others and are seeking 10-15 additional large private equity firms to learn about the role of human capital management in value creation plans. Recruiting for these *confidential* 30-minute interviews is underway – if you are an investment leader or human capital operating partner at a private equity firm with ~$5 billion or more AUM, please reach out to learn more info@worcimpact.com

Results will be published in Q4 2023 and responses will be kept anonymous. Only firms or individuals who expressly request attribution will be identified.
