t's time for businesses everywhere to open their minds to second-
chance hiring practices. With tens of millions of people in the U.S.
with criminal records, companies that successfully implement
second-chance hiring practices will have a massive competitive
advantage over those that do not.
Untapped Talent makes the business case for second-chance
hiring. From a credible source – the chief investment strategist of
one of the country's leading business banks – this book speaks
directly to business leaders to explain the economic case for
considering alternative sources of employees. It also shows why
companies utilizing second-chance hiring enjoy a competitive
advantage. Throughout, it will include dozens of examples of
businesses (from factories to restaurants to retail) that have
successfully implemented this strategy.
Readers will:
• Understand what goes into a successful second-chance hire,
from the support that will be needed internally to the resources
that are available from outside agencies.
• Learn how businesses from a variety of industries have instituted
successful second-chance hiring programs and how this has
positively impacted their culture and bottom line.
• Gain practical onboarding and coaching strategies that will help
ensure a smooth transition and a productive, happy new
employee.
