Employers are increasingly acknowledging the importance of fostering a diverse and inclusive work culture, with many forming DEI committees and making commitments to hiring more diversely. However, many employers overlook the crucial aspect of fair chance hiring, which means giving individuals with prior convictions or arrests a fair chance in the hiring process. This approach allows for thoughtful evaluation of candidates, removing bias and considering context before making a final decision. By adopting fair chance hiring practices, employers can benefit from increased diversity, compliance with anti-discrimination laws, social impact, cost savings through reduced turnover rates, and a commitment to anti-racism in action, ultimately contributing to positive social change and addressing the pressing issues of unemployment, poverty, and homelessness among formerly incarcerated individuals.
