Second Chance Hiring:

Embracing Truth and Authenticity to Thrive

 

Overcoming challenges in the workplace and personal life requires authenticity, resilience, and the courage to face difficult truths. HR professionals play a pivotal role in fostering environments that encourage employees to rise above adversity and embrace their true potential.

"From Ivy League lecture halls to a prison cell and back into purpose — this is my story. A journey of redemption, resilience, and becoming the man I was meant to be" - Ken Miller

Join us for an inspiring in-person session with Ken Miller, whose powerful story of redemption and resilience as a second-chance hire underscores the importance of authenticity in personal and professional growth. This event will empower you with actionable strategies to help employees navigate challenges, make positive decisions, and thrive in today’s dynamic workplace.

Whether you’re a seasoned HR leader or new to the field, this session will equip you with the tools to build a more resilient, authentic, and engaged workforce.

Today's case study will focus on second-chance employees. You will hear
 commonly used statistics about former criminal offenders; the legal issues surrounding employers’ consideration of criminal history; how to fairly and effectively evaluate risks associated with hiring former offenders; and how to make the business case for hiring former offenders.
