THE JUST JOBS SCORECARD
A new data-driven interactive tool to help companies prioritize investments in their most important value creators – their workers
Business leaders are increasingly recognizing that workforce investment can be a significant value creation engine. Providing good pay, strong benefits, opportunities for advancement, and a safe, equitable workplace allows employees to be more engaged and productive, delivering greater value to customers and in turn, shareholders as well.
Over our eight years of survey research, Americans have consistently agreed that workers must be a company’s top priority. And studies show that investments in workers can reduce high costs incurred from absenteeism and turnover, increase labor productivity, and grow revenue. Companies that align with the public’s priorities and prioritize the creation of good jobs also gain a competitive advantage in the market as their improved reputation is more likely to attract job seekers, consumers, and investors.
Although there are promising efforts to standardize what “good” looks like when it comes to job quality, there is no guiding set of data to help companies navigate what to disclose, how to benchmark, and where to prioritize workforce investment. That’s why we’ve created the JUST Jobs Scorecard.
The JUST Jobs Scorecard is a data-driven interactive tool that helps corporate leaders assess job quality performance on 28 data points across seven key topic areas and prioritize ways to improve through clear disclosure and performance thresholds from “no disclosure” up to the “leading” practice. The Scorecard enables corporate leaders to understand where their performance stands against minimum, common, and leading practice standards among America’s largest, publicly traded companies, providing actionable next steps corporate leaders can take to drive long-term value and build the case for new workforce investments in today’s tight labor market.

-
Topics
The Scorecard helps corporate leaders visualize their performance across seven key topics, benchmark their data against peers, and explore where they might want to take action to improve.
-
Data Points
We identified 28 publicly disclosed data points to help companies assess both performance and disclosure across the seven topic areas.
-
Company Scoring
The Scorecard indicates company performance on each data point along a continuum of practice, where 0 represents no disclosure and 4 represents leading practice. Data can be benchmarked against industry peers or all companies in the Russell 1000.
-
Compare Companies
The Compare feature provides a concise visual snapshot of how a company stacks up against selected peers across the disclosure and performance thresholds.
“The only sustainable competitive advantage that any company has is the strength of their workforce”

We are excited to announce that we will be soft launching the JUST Jobs Scorecard on April 5, at which point corporate leaders at scored companies – the Russell 1000 – will be able to view their Scorecards, respond to insights through additional disclosure and guided implementation, and share valuable feedback before a public roll out later this year.
Russell 1000 business leaders can sign up here to attend an introductory webinar on April 4 and receive updates about accessing their company Scorecard. The webinar will cover how your company can use the tool and participate in the soft launch. Please register even if you’re unable to attend. We will share a recording with all registrants and ensure you receive updates on the Scorecard.
Others interested in learning more about the JUST Jobs Scorecard can click here to receive updates and be among the first to be notified about the public launch.
What corporate leaders are saying about the JUST Jobs Scorecard
There are a lot of job quality frameworks in the market. There's no one comprehensively looking across companies doing scoring and benchmarking. There's an important role for a tool like this to play.
It's a guide on what additional disclosures we might want to consider putting out – and an additional scorecard to evaluate work that we're doing.
Some (scorecards) are set up in a way that has a punitive shaming to it. This doesn't have that feel to it. (Instead, it's saying,) Let us give you independent insight into what you are doing.
