Topic
Advising Small Businesses on Job Quality: Lessons from CDFIs
Date & Time

Selected Sessions:

Jun 26, 2025 03:00 PM

Description
Improving job quality doesn’t just benefit workers; it can also strengthen small businesses themselves and the broader communities they serve. Yet, many small business owners lack the resources and knowledge needed to improve the quality of their jobs. Trusted partners, like community development financial institutions (CDFIs), can make a meaningful difference. Through our Shared Success demonstration, we’ve had the opportunity to learn about the range of strategies CDFI business advisors have employed to encourage job quality among their small business clients. Our Job Quality Advising Guide was developed in collaboration with business advisors based on this experience. Centered on business value, this guide provides tools, resources, and success stories that can help organizations working with small businesses coach clients on potential job quality improvements that can also enhance business resilience. Join the Aspen Institute Economic Opportunities Program on Zoom on Thursday, June 26, from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, to learn more about the guide, hear from CDFIs about their approaches to building job quality advising into their work, and share your questions and comments. We are eager to hear what you think!
