Let’s Take the Stigma Out of Employing People with a History of Behavioral Issues
This webinar is for employers, human resources professionals, and individuals involved in the recruitment and retention of employees. The focus of the webinar is to promote inclusive hiring and healthy workplaces by increasing employers’ understanding of hiring individuals with a history of behavioral issues or offenses.
Employment can be an important re-entry method and strong protective factor for people who have committed an offense or with a history of behavior issues. Yet many employers are unwilling to hire these individuals. By increasing employers’ understanding, we can promote inclusive hiring and healthy workplaces.
This webinar features an open dialogue with Working Fields, a staffing agency that specializes in helping people eliminate barriers to employment. We discuss hiring people with past behavioral issues, address common misconceptions, and tackle questions from Working Fields employer partners.
