CHART Talks: "Brief Blasts of Brilliance" #24 - The 20-80 Opportunity
by Stewart Young, Program Director, Cafe Reconcile
As the Program Director for Cafe Reconcile, I witness daily the benefits to taking the time and searching for ways to hire the 20% who normally get passed over. During #CHARTNOLA, a group of attendees volunteered and saw first-hand the impact our organization has on those who struggle to get hired. I also shared during my CHART Talks session, how you can make a difference just by modifying your screening and hiring process and investing in people from day one. View my 8-minute video and learn how to go the extra mile with this segment of the workforce.
