the true impact of fair chance hiring

embracing fair chance hiring practices benefits individuals, businesses, and communities.

Fair chance hiring creates positive outcomes for individuals, businesses, and communities alike. By providing opportunities to justice-involved individuals, companies tap into a broader talent pool, foster a diverse and inclusive workforce, and contribute to the overall well-being of society. Embracing fair chance hiring practices is not just a matter of social responsibility; it is a strategic decision that benefits all stakeholders - a win-win-win!

the individual

Justice-involved individuals often face significant barriers to employment, making it difficult for them to reintegrate into society and support themselves and their families.
