Getting Talent Back to Work!

EVENT TOPIC
Just how easy is it for you to find talent and fill job openings? What resources do you use when looking for applicants? Whether the talent pool is plentiful or the labor market is tough, one thing is for certain, employers are constantly trying to find the best fit for their company. Interestingly enough, there are over 2 million individuals that are skilled and ready to work, yet find themselves locked out of employment simply because of a past conviction.
In this session, the presenters will discuss the value of second chance talent in the workplace. Specifically, Branden Butler from the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing will present on the Fair Chance Act and Dr. Genevieve Rimer from the Center for Employment Opportunities will present on the talent lifecycle and will provide best practices on how to transform workplace processes and culture.
