Low-Wage Workers
On March 30, Aspen's Center for Business Education launched a business faculty network on "Teaching Business Students about Low-Wage Workers." More than 20 business faculty from across the US participated in the network's first web conference discussing opportunities to integrate low-wage employee topics into traditional business school curricula.
Professor Zeynep Ton, from Harvard Business School, helped lead a lively dialogue that highlighted the latent opportunities to teach about low-wage employees in business school and the importance of low-wage employees to a company's operational performance.
If you or someone you know would like to join this network, please contact Miguel Padro at .
