We believe a truly good job is more than wages - it creates conditions for workers to thrive. Yet too few workers have access to sustained wage growth, supportive workplaces, and real opportunities for advancement. GBL works to change this by expanding pathways into better-fit, higher-opportunity work and improving job quality within large employers. We study worker needs, partner with workers and employers to co-design interventions that serve both individual and business goals, and evaluate impact through causal methods. Across manufacturing, retail, and food service, our work shows that improving job quality also improves firm performance. Globally, we have directly improved outcomes for over 500,000 workers, with indirect reach across an ecosystem impacting nearly 2 million more.\nThe founders of the GBL are Ach Adhvaryu - Professor of Economics, Director of 21st Century India Center, School of Global Policy and Strategy at UC San Diego, Anant Ahuja - Director of ESG and Sustainability at Shahi Exports Pvt.

Examples include studying the migration experience and mental health of workers and how these are affected by pairing them with experienced workers from their region (through a novel ‘buddy system’), unlocking women’s economic participation, and understanding how an effective grievance redressal system affects workers’ job outcomes.
