Jobs for Humanity’s Post

Returning citizens' impact on the economy took the top spot in the Financial Times. With more than 150 million fully capable people who went through the justice system among whom half are unemployed, there is a lot of room to fill job openings, right here, at home. The main reason for the unemployment rate is stigma, fear, and judgement by hiring teams who haven't been educated on how to be inclusive of them or how to properly read a background check. Two extraordinary example of companies who do it right are Redemption Roasters and Checkr, Inc.. They've been expanding extraordinarily in part due to their inclusive mission and vision.

Does competition exist in the DE&I space? Not in our lexicon. Bridge of Hope Careers and Jobs for Humanity are joining forces. Like us, Bridge of Hope's teams come from the same under-represented communities we serve (neurodivergent, returning citizens, and more). They serve 75,000 job seekers in London. Together we're supporting close to 700,000 job seekers worldwide as well as over 60 blue chimp companies to meaningfully increase their social impact: - Hire from new diverse talent pools - Train their hiring teams on inclusive hiring processes

It's been a couple months or so since our meet up over in Melbourne, Australia as we transitioned from 🍁 Autumn to Winter ❄ . So, what is the state of play when it comes to diversity in the workplace? According to an article written in 2023 for Harvard Business Review,there are 4 freedoms at work needed for people to flourish no matter what your background is. These freedoms, are a way to truly engage each and every employee, so they feel their workplace is safe and welcoming - the basic foundations to be their best selves. When employees are their best selves, this is when they do their best work. When they do their best work, they feel productive, happy and add value. Here are the freedoms: 💙 The freedom to be authentic 💙 The freedom to grow 💙 The freedom to step back, and 💙 The freedom to fail Granting 'freedom' in all 4 forms, benefits all as well as the business itself. Agree? If you are in Melbourne pop along to our next meet up where we we will discuss this topic. We look forward to seeing you there. https://lnkd.in/g3r-DYZ9
