EMPLOYERS ARE RE-SHAPING BOTH HOW THEY HIRE AND HOW THEY MANAGE FOR AN A-HA MOMENT
With 10 million job roles open, employers today not only need to broaden their search parameters, but they need to retain the employees they hire. Across the U.S. there are organizations popping up to assist employers by re-imagining how they hire and teaching them how to combat the biases that political unrest, structural racism, and increased mental health conditions have levied on the workforce. To the rescue in Chicago is the Chicago Resiliency Network, an initiative of the Corporate Coalition of Chicago. Heralding their charge to help employers, across their region, create workplaces that are better for employees and better for business, is Program Director, Marcos Gonzalez. Marcos and his team lead the employer cohorts through training and simulations that address the hiring of justice involved individuals and explore the root causes of trauma and toxic stress. The outcome, new knowledge, better training, and stronger resiliency practices that best suit their business.
