#funfridayfact: Let's pretend you are a worker wasp in July. You live in a lovely nest and have a great job protecting your queen from anyone trying to invade. Nectar, fruit, and insects are plentiful. Life is good. Then, one day in August/September, after your queen lays its eggs, she leaves without saying goodbye to hibernate. You and all the workers around you are suddenly laid off. The nest is completely abandoned. Food becomes scarce. You now have no home, no job, and no consistent source of food. You start roaming around anxiously, diving into dumpsters and eating rotted, fermented fruit that causes you to get drunk and angry (yes, this is real). You find random groups of humans eating food outside and start aggressively attacking, desperate for nutrients, and stinging them if they get in your way. Your brain is only set up to "protect the nest," and now that the world is your nest...everyone is an enemy. This is exactly why wasps are so mean and aggressive this time of year. #openmotivepositions: We are actively hiring SDRs in Austin and Nashville. Open to recent college graduates.

The White House has officially recognized April as Second Chance Month! But what does that mean exactly? Second Chance Hiring (along with Fair Chance Hiring) refers to the policies and practices aimed at eradicating biases toward justice-involved applicants. However, there is actually a distinction between the two. Let’s break it down: 📌 Fair Chance Hiring encompasses a broader range of policies that focus on removing discriminatory barriers during the hiring process.  → This could look like delaying background checks until after a job is offered, or completely omitting questions about criminal records during the application process. 📌 Second Chance Hiring takes a narrower scope, by intentionally providing a road to employment for folks who were previously incarcerated. →  This might include educational partnerships and reentry programs within correctional institutions, or businesses that specifically offer employment opportunities to justice-involved workers. And while the distinctions between Fair Chance Hiring and Second Chance Hiring are nuanced, it’s worth noting that they share a similar goal: Remove discriminatory barriers in the hiring process and advocate for equal employment opportunities. By implementing these practices, we all benefit from a more inclusive, equitable, and resilient workforce. #SecondChanceMonth #SecondChanceHiring #FairChanceMonth #FairChanceHiring 

Police Foundations is one of the only programs that offers an inside scoop into Police Career Prep (including the hiring process) in a way that develops an individual in a personal and professional manner, without enabling or over-helping. But not everyone wants to take Police Foundations. And--Police Services will often encourage applicants to take other programs in order to have diverse and well rounded officers. Our programs were designed for applicants looking for professional development that builds leadership skills, applicants who have a 4-year degree in another field and they want information on the Police hiring process, applicants who want to stand out and applicants who are switching careers and want to brush up on interview skills. https://lnkd.in/gaFtcCyK

Ageism in the workplace leads to discrimination based on age, side-lining experienced individuals and causing emotional distress, financial hardship, and a loss of valuable talent. It prevents organizations from benefiting from the wisdom and skills of older employees, impacting overall workplace diversity, equity, and inclusion. We can only honestly discuss Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) by addressing ageism in the workplace. Discrimination persists in many forms, but ageism remains particularly insidious, often dismissed as less critical despite its profound impact on marginalized talent pools. This form of prejudice not only side-lines experienced individuals but also deprives organizations of invaluable wisdom and skills. We must raise awareness, challenge cultural stereotypes, and foster a workplace that celebrates contributions from all ages. #Ageism #DEI #Inclusion #WorkplaceEquality #AgeDiversity #InclusiveWorkplace #EndAgeism #CareerLongevity #ExperienceMatters #GenerationalDiversity.

Did you know Hawaii was the first state to pass Fair Chance Hiring policies? In 1998, they passed a law prohibiting state and county employers from asking about an applicant’s criminal history on job applications. Hawaii’s history-making policies were in response to the ‘Ban the Box’ movement, which began in the 90s, and continued to grow throughout the early aughts. The initiative is aimed at removing the checkbox that inquires as to whether an applicant has a criminal record.  ☑️ This single question – which is still asked across many states today – perpetuates discrimination and frequently hinders justice-involved folks from reentering the workforce. In honor of Second Chance Month, we’re here to remind you that every applicant deserves an unbiased opportunity at employment, a fair wage, and meaningful work. #SecondChanceMonth #FairChanceHiringMonth #SecondChanceHiring #BantheBox #FairChanceHiring

I'm sorry you experienced this Tamara Duffy. I'm quite sure that I have too. It is the way of the world. But hey... Not too long ago, I played in a summer tennis league here in Hotlanta. There were 377 competitors in my ranking group, and I beat every one of my opponents - most of them half my age - by intentionally scheduling the matches at MID DAY on a court I knew to be IN THE SUN. We're talking 100 degrees and 70% humidity. I ground every one of them into the pavement, frequently winning in two sets. But when it went to a third, I won every final set 6-1 or 6-0. And I'm NOT EVEN A GOOD TENNIS PLAYER 🤣 With my greater experience, I'm 5 times smarter and 10 times more innovative... and can still run literal circles around "kids" 10 years my junior. [With respect to Pete Townshend, I'll probably die before I get old.] Not to mention...(or am I mentioning ;-) ) I have the rare and coveted traditional American work ethic, an obsession with quality, and Emotional Intelligence that seem to have largely disappeared around the turn of the century; and which (many of) the recent graduates couldn't even comprehend. Experienced professionals like us drive strategic innovation, create value, and make our shareholders very wealthy. So...if insecure or lazy leaders are afraid to hire visionary and superior talent with high energy and stamina... It is THEIR loss. No lawsuit required.
