This site will recognize businesses and organizations in six northeast Georgia counties that are Worker Friendly. |
5. Why use the term “Worker Friendly?” We tried to find a simple term to identify businesses and organizations that offer reasonable wages and benefits. The term “Worker Friendly” did this for us. We recognize that the “Worker Friendly” term is not perfect. It is vague. But we hope that over time, people will visit our website and come to understand how we are using this term. We shared this term with others and got lots of great alternatives, such as “Wage Friendly Employer,” “Worker Supportive Employer,” “Equity Employer,” and “Fair Workplace.” We carefully considered each name, but someone always found some nuance that made it not work in some circumstances. Given that we could not agree on the “perfect” name, we decided to go with our original “Worker Friendly Employer” designation. The “thumbs up” logo connoted our desire to always be positive in our approach. Our project is about focusing on the good in our community, rather than pointing out the problems. |
