Putting Talent Back to Work Through Second-Chance Hiring

Did you know? 85% of HR professionals believe that workers with criminal records perform their jobs as well or better than their peers.

According to SHRM’s Putting Talent Back to Work Toolkit, organizations benefit in a variety of ways from employing people with criminal records.

 

• - Talented workers are widely available due to being ignored by the broader workforce
• - Employing second chance workers builds inclusive, diverse, and successful workplaces
• - Creating opportunities for people with criminal records demonstrates good corporate citizenship and builds stronger communities

 

Join MMAC and Kristin Strunk representing Metro Milwaukee SHRM  to understand the opportunity of second-chance hiring. Learn from peer HR practitioners, including Advocate Aurora's Kim Questschke, how to build support within your organization, and how to partner with community agencies working to prepare returning citizens for employment. Four community agencies will be on hand to discuss how employers can find success integrating second-chance employees in the workplace:

• - Employ Milwaukee
• - MKE Re-entry Council/Community Advocates
• - UMOS
• - The Way Out
