Opportunity

Success for a returning citizen makes Chicagoland stronger... here's how... If you’re in the workforce and social services space you’re familiar with the phrase “returning citizen.” But if you're a Chicago area business this is important for you and your hiring. Who is a "returning citizen" and why does it matter to you?   They’ve served their time, left prison, and most often returned to the places that sent them to prison in the first place, and now they face barriers that continue to punish them for past mistakes.   When they ask about a job, they’re told the company doesn’t hire people like them. Or, when they apply for a chance to show they’re ready for a good job and to do good work, they don’t hear back. And we all can recite the price we all pay for this – the painful and preventable cycles of recidivism, reinforced racial disparity and injustice that divides our communities, and the troubling disquiet in real lives that discourages and robs us all of a better future.

Great leadership opportunity

In the realm of assisted living, the stakes of hiring decisions extend far beyond the boundaries of a conventional job. Here, we are entrusted with the profound responsibility of safeguarding and enhancing the lives of those in care. Our industry's hiring practices must reflect the gravity of this duty. We cannot afford to be penny-wise and pound-foolish, compromising the quality of care for perceived short-term savings. The consequences of inadequate hiring are not measured in mere dollars and cents but in the impact on human lives—the well-being of residents and the peace of mind of their families. We must continue to hire with discernment and foresight, recognizing that the ramifications of a poor hire can reverberate deeply, affecting not just the individual in question but the entire community we serve. Lives are indeed at stake, and with this knowledge comes a collective obligation to act wisely and compassionately in our hiring practices. Hiring is, at best, a high-stakes game of trying to guess correctly. #assistedliving #seniorliving #homecare

This ad is a great example of what transparency looks like. In this ad, the City of Santa Monica is asking 5 key questions that people can prepare of ahead of time. In some disability accommodations scenarios, people can ask for questions earlier as part of accommodations, but usually can get them about 1/2 an hour before the interview which isn't much of an accommodation. This shows you in particular what the hiring team is thinking about, and while being prepared for a variety of questions in important, they show a candidate that beyond a bullet list of requirements, these in particular are areas to focus on. While I'm not planning to become a BA again, and while Santa Monica is a great city - and extremely tempting - I'd love to see more of this happen. It looks like L.A. civic government jobs does something similar, so I'm not sure if this is a California trend, a government trend or both - but seeing more transparency in hiring is going to benefit both job seekers and job hiring committees.

POLYWORK // 🛃Do you have more than one job right now? By choice, necessity or circumstance? Polywork assumes you choose to do more than one job, but there are a lot of people taking on polywork to make ends meet as a result of the increase in the cost of living or because a flexible or part time role is not available to them.
