How can companies tap & develop human capital to drive long-term success?
Launched in 2019, the SBF Sustainable
Employment Report is a “by-busines-for-business”
effort that provided recommendations on the
measures that businesses can adopt to support key
at-risk employee groups – mature workers, low-
wage workers, & PMETs susceptible to job
disruption, so that businesses can continue to tap
on these groups as valuable human capital
resource for business success.
