Job Quality and Organizational Performance

Presentation by Graham Lowe at the annual IAPA Conference, Toronto, April 22, 2008. For conference information: www.iapa.ca/conference
Session Description: Job quality is a bridge between what matters to individual workers and what drives organizational performance. Based on Dr. Lowe’s research, presented in 21st Century Job Quality: Achieving What Canadians Want (www.cprn.org), the quality of an employee’s work environment and the personal rewards of their job directly contribute to positive work experiences and higher job performance. By focusing on job quality, this session will provide OHS professionals with a new and powerful framework for linking healthy workplace goals to organizational performance and sustainability.
