Workforce Solutions: How second-chance hiring can help your business
Tangible resources for your business
Hiring the best person for an open position shouldn’t preclude those with criminal backgrounds. In fact, making second-chance hiring part of your corporate culture can increase employee retention rate, with 82 percent of hiring managers saying the quality of these employees matches or exceeds the quality of other employees.
The Minnesota Chamber recently hosted a virtual event as part of the Workforce Solutions Series to help businesses learn approaches to hiring within this group, as well as how to help them thrive as employees for your business. See below to view the free, on-demand webinar, as well as access relevant resources to help your business learn more about second-chance hiring.
