When companies embrace inclusive hiring practices, they benefit from highly motivated and engaged employees. In this episode of the HR Mixtape podcast, host Shari Simpson interviews Jeff Korzenik, a chief economist and author, about the business case for hiring individuals with criminal records. They discuss the immediate benefits that companies are seeing when they adopt more inclusive hiring practices. Three key takeaways from the episode are: Hiring individuals with criminal records can help address the labor shortage and deliver highly motivated, engaged, and loyal employees, leading to increased profitability. One common misconception is painting this population with a broad brush. It's important to recognize that not all individuals with criminal records are the same, and partnering with community-based organizations can help identify potential fits for an enterprise. Onboarding and integrating employees with criminal records require understanding and appreciation for the challenges they may have faced, such as poverty and lack of basic skills. Creating a supportive culture and providing additional resources like life coaches can contribute to their success. Overall, the episode highlights the importance of HR professionals in driving inclusive hiring practices and adapting to the changing workforce landscape.

Author Jeff Korzenik's day job as a Chief Investment Strategist at one of the largest commercial banks in the U.S. led him to take a deep dive into the realm of the social issues that have been plaguing workforce growth for the better part of two decades. The solution, as he sees it, is to educate CEOs on the value of hiring and training the 19 million who have served time behind the wall or the millions more who have misdemeanors on their records. Untapped Talent provides both the data and the emotion as to why the U.S. workforce has diminished, strategic checkmarks on how it can be changed and, examples of those companies who became successful second-chance hiring employers.

Jeff Korzenik will be in conversation with Ken Oliver, the executive director of San Francisco-based Checkr Foundation. Oliver leads one of the country's most important initiatives for encouraging second chance/fair chance hiring within technology and other industries. With perspective gained from his own experience incarcerated in the California prison system, Oliver will question Korzenik on the origins on the business perspective on people involved in the justice system, the barriers to employment faced by returning citizens, and why he believes business is a critical partner to a more just world. The conversation will rely heavily on real-world examples or success and the necessary investments employers must make for fair chance hiring to succeed in business terms. Jeffrey Korzenik is the author of Untapped Talent: How Second Chance Hiring Works for Your Business and the Community (HarperCollins Leadership, April 2021). The chief investment strategist for one of the country's largest commercial banks, Korzenik is an unlikely advocate for those with a criminal record. From speaking engagements to his regular appearances on CNBC, Bloomberg and Fox Business News, and in his articles in Harvard Business Review, the Stanford Social Innovation Review and numerous regional outlets, Korzenik argues that offering career opportunities to those overlooked because of a mistake in the past are our single best solution to our labor shortage. Such second chance/fair chance hiring, in his view, not only strengthens the economy, but offers a critical path to safer and healthier communities. In 2020, Korzenik was elected to membership in the Council on Criminal Justice in recognition of his work on the intersection of the labor force and the justice system. Korzenik is a graduate of Princeton University and has served on numerous nonprofit boards.

A regular guest on CNBC, Fox Business News, and Bloomberg TV, his insights into the economy, markets, manufacturing, and the workforce are frequently cited in the financial and business press. What is "Untapped Talent: How Second Chance Hiring Works for your Business and the Community" about? This work shares the business case and best practices of “second chance hiring,” employing people with criminal records. The first and only book of its kind, “Untapped Talent” is meant to inform and inspire business leaders to broaden their hiring to this population. This is a disciplined and realistic look at this issue – not everyone with a record is ready for employment, and even those that are may require additional support. Based on the successful experience of pioneering second chance employers around the country, “Untapped Talent” identifies the challenges and opportunities in hiring people who have been marginalized from the workforce. The book covers the realities of our criminal justice system, models of hiring (both successful and unsuccessful), overcoming objections, implementation, refinement and where employers can find the resources. Within the pages of the book, readers will learn more about the business leaders who have led the way in giving people a chance. Beyond numerous lessons and anecdotes throughout the book, an entire chapter is devoted to the case study of an Ohio manufacturer, whose business and company culture were transformed by this experience. Why this matters? The United States has 19 million people with a felony conviction, including one in three Black men. Along with the additional tens of millions burdened with misdemeanor convictions, “people with records” represent an enormous underutilized labor resource. On a macroeconomic level, higher workforce growth drives faster growth for everyone. The United States, and virtually the whole world faces a demographic challenge ahead. Our best opportunity lies in bringing marginalized workers into employment and giving them a chance to be as productive as possible. On a company level, using the model explained in the book, second chance employees are on average more engaged and more loyal, leading to lower turnover costs and higher productivity. Contributing to a worthy social cause in this way makes companies more attractive to investors, employees and customers alike. On a societal level, this is the right thing to do, one of the most important ways businesses can engage in solving social problems. When people who have made a mistake and paid for that error continue to suffer the penalty of workforce barriers, we create injustice, reduced public safety, family dysfunction, and intergenerational poverty. As a country, we cannot hope to get to equality of opportunity across racial lines, until we offer people the opportunity to move beyond their worst moment. Second chance hiring is the solution. The road to a better society must be paved by the business community, and “Untapped Talent” is the map. #UntappedTalent #JeffKorzenik #FairChanceHiring #CROPOrganization #ThePrisonPost...
