Defining Good Work

Understanding what constitutes good work is paramount for enhancing job quality. Good work encompasses not just competitive pay, but also factors such as job autonomy, meaningfulness, and work-life balance, which have gained increased recognition post-pandemic. Effective employee voice plays a crucial role in this framework, highlighting the need for clear communication channels between employees and management. Organizations should familiarize themselves with the seven dimensions of job quality identified by CIPD to create a comprehensive picture of what makes work fulfilling.
