Working Fields was recognized as a leader in the fair-chance employment movement this week by national organization, Jails to Jobs.

The organization, which provides resources and support to promote second chance employment around the United States, recently added Working Fields to a shortlist of exemplary fair-chance employers.

Jails to Jobs also spotlighted the Working Fields fair-chance staffing agency model in a Second Chance Employer Profile, from founding to current operations. Employers interested in learning about inclusive hiring practices can use these profiles to see how peer organizations across the U.S. are successfully employing untapped talent.
