The new decade has brought attention to essential needs such as safety, community, and employment access, particularly for black people and people of color who face greater disadvantages in surviving the global pandemic, failing economy, and uncertain future. America's prisons reflect national inequity, with 1 in 3 Americans having a criminal record, making it difficult for those with conviction histories to find work. Fair chance hiring is an opportunity for employers to make a positive impact by implementing policies that ensure fair assessment of candidates regardless of their background. To start, organizations should create an intentional hiring plan, connect with local source partners to find top talent, conduct skills-based interviews, and fairly assess charges using the nature/time/nature test. By implementing these practices, businesses can help break the cycle of recidivism and provide economic stability for individuals exiting the jail and prison system.
