JUST Capital and the Springbank Collective invite you to a webinar on Tuesday, Jul 23rd, from 11:30am-12:30pm, eastern time, on "The Role of Investors in Advancing Care and Leave Policies." Please join us as we hear from Emily McKinin DeMasi, Regional Team Lead, EOS North America, and Lucy Larner, Engagement Manager of North America, Schroders, in a conversation moderated by #JUSTCapital's Tracy Stewart, CFA, Managing Director of Investment Strategies. We will talk about the importance of care and leave policies to companies, workers and investors and the value case for companies to adopt policies that serve the needs of their workforce. Emily and Lucy will discuss the research and market-leading efforts, including engagements and filing shareowner proposals, by EOS and Schroders. The pandemic laid bare the dire need for better sick leave policies, and the changing demographics and trends in society make family care--of both children and aging family members--a quickly growing priority. Please join us as we discuss what we can do as investors to help companies and workers succeed in this regard. Please contact Tracy with any questions at tstewart@justcapital.com. We hope you can join us, or refer a colleague to join!

“America’s political class was in the final stages of self-righteous detachment from the economic and social conditions of the nation it ruled”. So writes Oren Cass, Chief Economist at American Compass, in a NYT op-ed this week recalling the indifference of political elites to the emerging opioid epidemic in 2011. A searing critique of present-day public office leadership, its basic premise – to actually listen to what Main Street America has to say about their hopes, fears, and dreams – drives to the heart of our system of capitalism and our mission too. Would a more just capital market have spotted, and reacted to, Purdue Pharma’s role in the opioid crisis a little earlier? Might socially-destructive corporate behavior or unethical business leadership, even if it’s highly profitable, somehow be curtailed? Conversely, would corporations who seek to create value for all their stakeholders be fully rewarded for their greater alignment with the public interest?

Data consistently shows that “supporting employees’ well-being is not only socially responsible, but a smart investment.” That’s the crux of this JUST Capital piece that looks at emerging worker well-being trends, and what some innovative companies — including Cisco and Medtronic — are doing to meet the diverse care needs of their employees. These trends aren’t just creating more equitable and inclusive organizations, they’re helping drive thriving workplaces where employees have what they need to balance work, care, and life’s many other responsibilities effectively.

To understand the financial security of employees across America’s largest publicly traded companies, JUST Capital and Revelio Labs analyzed the amount employees’ wages exceeded the local #livingwage necessary to cover basic budgetary needs. What did we learn? ✅ The Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) where Russell 1000 workers with a family of four can earn the highest wages compared to cost-of-living are actually among the highest cost-of-living regions in the U.S., including Seattle, Silicon Valley, and Austin. ✅ #Retail sales roles provide important entry-level positions for millions of American workers, and yet the wage rates earned by retail sales employees consistently fall below the living wage threshold for a family of four in many metropolitan areas. ✅ Surprisingly, in some high cost-of-living regions these very roles do provide for financial security – but only when location intersects with companies that have made a decision to invest in their employees. Top companies for entry-level retail positions include Best Buy, Nordstrom, Skechers, and Macy's. Explore the data in the charts below.
