Jeffrey Korzenik, author of *Untapped Talent,* talks about second chance hiring!
Manage episode 397024331 series 3417760
For our Episode 85, we're joined by Jeffrey Korzenik, chief economist at one of our major American banks and author of the very important book, Untapped Talent: How Second Chance Hiring Works for Your Business and the Community.
He tells us all the critical reason we should all be taking a look at hiring those who've previously been incarcerated or have criminal records. Right now they can find themselves with almost no path to earning a living, which makes it pretty tough to get off the path of crime and onto one of being a productive citizen.
Jeff tells us why it's good economics, good business, and being a good human being to try to give those who've made legal mistakes a second chance.
Jeff also tells about the hurdles companies will face in getting after this laudable goal, and where they can find help to do it.
