DESCRIPTION:The Aspen Institute is hosting a webinar on How to Tell Governments What You Think on Wednesday\, November 4th\, from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM. \nBecause governments work for the people\, it’s important for government officials to hear from ordinary citizens what we think about what they are doing.

SUMMARY:Aspen Institute: What Employee Ownership Means to Workers
DESCRIPTION:The Aspen Institute is hosting What Employee Ownership Means to Workers on Thursday\, October 29th\, from 2:00 PM to 3:15 PM. \nEmployee owners themselves bring a critical perspective to building effective employee-owned companies and expanding the model. Workers know best which elements of ownership matter most\, so their voices are important in designing ownership plans\, putting them into practice\, and evaluating outcomes. Understanding those perspectives can help companies develop workplace practices that let employee ownership thrive and help policymakers craft policies that support its growth. \nThe Economic Opportunities Program’s forthcoming report\, What Employee Ownership Means to Workers\, shares the perspectives and experiences of workers at companies with different forms of employee ownership: ESOPs\, EOTs\, worker cooperatives\, and broad-based equity compensation plans. Join the Aspen Institute Economic Opportunities Program for What Employee Ownership Means to Workers virtually to hear findings from the report and a panel conversation featuring four employee-owners who participated in the research\, as part of our celebration of Employee Ownership Month. \nClick here to learn more and register.

SUMMARY:Aspen Institute: Disposable Workers: A Book Talk with MIT Sloan Professor Paul Osterman
DESCRIPTION:The Aspen Institute is hosting Disposable Workers: A Book Talk with MIT Sloan Professor Paul Osterman on Wednesday\, September 9th\, from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM. \nFor decades\, economists and policymakers have debated how to help workers get better jobs. But what if the more fundamental problem is that employers have systematically redesigned work itself to make a third of the workforce expendable? In his forthcoming book\, “Disposable Workers: The Transformation of Employment\,” MIT Sloan Professor Emeritus Paul Osterman examines this idea and what it would take to reverse it. Osterman documents the rise of contract workers\, freelancers\, and what he calls “marginal workers” — W-2 employees who are cut off from training\, advancement\, and any real stake in the organizations they work for. Together\, these three groups now make up more than a third of the American workforce. Osterman argues that this trend is neither an accident nor an inevitable byproduct of technological change. It is the result of deliberate choices employers have made about how to structure work and manage labor costs. Osterman traces both the logic behind those choices and their consequences for worker well-being\, economic mobility\, and the broader social contract. \nJoin the Aspen Institute Economic Opportunities Program on Zoom\, for a conversation about what drove this transformation\, who bears its costs\, and what it would take to reverse it. \nClick here to learn more and register.

SUMMARY:Aspen Institute: Metrics that Matter - Improving Financial Analysis of CDFI Small Business Lenders
DESCRIPTION:The Aspen Institute is hosting Metrics that Matter: Improving Financial Analysis of CDFI Small Business Lenders on Wednesday\, August 26th\, from 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM. \nCDFI boards\, leadership teams\, investors\, and regulators have long relied on a familiar set of financial metrics to assess organizational performance. While measures such as delinquency\, loan loss rates\, self-sufficiency\, and net asset ratios remain important\, they often provide an incomplete picture of how effectively a CDFI small business lender is deploying capital\, managing risk\, serving its target market\, and positioning itself for long-term sustainability. In the present moment\, navigating the most effective strategies and solutions is more important than ever. \nThis session will explore an emerging framework developed by the Aspen Institute’s Business Ownership Initiative that seeks to move beyond compliance-oriented reporting toward a more integrated view of organizational performance. Participants will examine how decisions related to risk\, pricing\, capitalization\, deployment\, and operating costs influence both mission outcomes and financial strength and discuss what metrics may better support real-time decision-making for leadership teams\, boards\, funders\, and investors. \nClick here to learn more and register.

SUMMARY:Aspen Institute: Beyond 9 to 5 - Facilitating Good Jobs for People with Unpredictable Schedules
DESCRIPTION:The Aspen Institute is hosting Beyond 9 to 5: Facilitating Good Jobs for People with Unpredictable Schedules on Thursday\, December 4th\, from 2:00 PM to 3:15 PM. \nParenting and other caregiving responsibilities\, health challenges\, the pursuit of education and skills\, existing employment\, and other factors mean many people do not have a lot of predictability and consistency in their availability. Some may only be able to work a few hours a week and may not know week to week when that can happen. And yet\, many obviously need to work to get by and meet their basic needs. While app-based platforms have often been heralded for providing the flexibility workers in these situations need\, these jobs have often perpetuated low wages and low job quality standards. This conversation will explore how Workforce Investment Boards\, labor unions\, and businesses are adapting to this context and striving to ensure that those who need a flexible and adaptable work arrangement don’t have to endure low quality jobs and low wages. \nClick here to learn more and register.
