Justice-Impacted Workers Deserve a Second Chance

Hiring justice-impacted individuals is a powerful way to strengthen our economy—and give people the second chance they deserve.

Dane Linn, Senior Vice President at the Business Roundtable, explains how the Second Chance Business Coalition is helping companies remove barriers to employment for people with criminal records.

With over 70 million Americans touched by the justice system, fair access to employment is more important than ever. Major employers are learning that hiring individuals with records isn’t just the right thing to do—it’s also smart business. These employees often show higher retention rates and bring valuable skills from past experiences and training.
