Iowa companies looking to meet the evolving needs and expectations of their current and future workforce now have a valuable tool offered by CIRAS.
The Job Quality Assessment online self-assessment enables companies to identify their strengths and opportunities. Using the assessment results, companies can work with CIRAS advisors to develop effective workforce strategies that improve worker satisfaction, engagement, and retention.
“They learn where they are strong in terms of job quality and where they might be struggling,” said Brenda Martin, CIRAS workforce services director. “A company may benefit by improving their onboarding process or by implementing employee surveys and one-on-one engagement. They may need to look at wages or career pathways. CIRAS has the expertise to support these strategies.”
Since its launch in September 2022, 16 Iowa companies have used the Job Quality Toolkit to engage assistance from CIRAS in implementing new strategies to attract and retain workers.
