Evanston, IL, US

WORC envisions a thriving economy where every worker has a job worth having. We empower impact investors and their portfolio companies to leverage the hidden asset at the bottom of the org chart for superior business results and high-quality jobs for workers.If you’re not strengthening your workforce, the science is clear – you’re leaving money on the table. A stable workforce is a chronically underutilized engine to achieve outsized financial and impact results. WORC helps leading private equity firms and their portfolio companies unlock this value.We conduct original research with philanthropic support (Ford Foundation Mission Investments team, Innovation Resource Center for Human Resources) and impact measurement/program evaluation in partnership with nonprofits across the country.Our statistically-validated, science-backed diagnostics include: The Employee Impact Index (TM) The Ownership Impact Index (TM) The Supervisor Ownership Assessment (TM) The Worthwhile Jobs Index
