How can Qualitative Research Impact Business Outcomes?

This panel discussion includes representatives from Good Business Lab (GBL), United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), and Shahi Exports (India’s largest garment manufacturer). GBL and UNFPA will talk about how they developed a pioneering Return on Investment Tool (ROIT) which aims to help businesses estimate their ROI before undertaking an intervention. The numerical tool was developed using qualitative research methods including a review of economic literature related to workplace health interventions. Shahi Exports will talk about how such tools can be implemented by businesses. Panelists will answer questions about how businesses, funders, and researchers used qualitative research to design the tool and how can businesses improve workers' health by implementing tested solutions. The target audience for this webinar includes researchers, students, business executives, and policymakers.
