In order to create shared prosperity and an economy that works for everyone, employers must reject the false choice between treating their workers with dignity and turning a profit. Employers must recognize, as President Obama said in his final State of the Union address, "that doing right by their workers or their customers or their communities ends up being good for their shareholders." In his talk, the US Labor Secretary Tom Perez will argue that the high road is the smart road, and that building great companies requires valuing employees. Afterwards, in a conversation with Secretary Perez and Colorado Law Dean Phil Weiser, two leaders of great Colorado companies committed to these values, will join in a facilitated conversation on the topic.
