Impact Employer Model

Prepare Your Company for the Future of Work by Putting Talent First

About Impact Employers

Impact Employers take a fundamentally different approach to attracting, developing, and retaining talent—they prioritize the social and economic well-being of employees. This strategy is good not only for workers and communities; it’s good for your company’s bottom line. Our guide shows you how to put these ideas into action.

JFF’s Impact Employer Talent Framework

Six levers contribute to one common goal: equitable economic advancement for all.

The framework is based on traditional components of corporate talent strategy—like recruiting, retaining, rewarding, and advancing talent—and it expands on these strategies to include people-focused benefits.

Each part of the framework (we call them “levers”) represents an area of the business that companies can focus on to achieve high-impact returns by changing or modifying current practices.

By implementing these levers—one, a few, or all six—you can begin your journey to becoming an Impact Employer and join the movement for greater opportunity, equity, and advancement in the workforce.
