Why it Matters
Each year, millions of qualified individuals are denied fair access to work because of a past record. This isn't just a human cost—it's an economic one.
Fair Chance hiring allows employers to tap into overlooked talent, reduce turnover, and strengthen community stability.
Key Facts:
- 1 in 3 Americans has a criminal record.
- Fair-chance hires have higher retention and engagement rates.
- Inclusive hiring boosts business performance and community trust.
"When we open doors for others, we strengthen our own foundation."
