2:00pm to 3:30pm Eastern
In this webinar, participants will learn about best practices for employers in the proper use of criminal records in hiring – and about why it is their best interests to adopt a “fair chance” approach to employment of people with criminal records. Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law will share highlights from their best practices guide for considering criminal records in hiring decisions – an invaluable tool for employers seeking both to comply with employment law and to expand their pool of available talent. Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights of the San Francisco Bay Area will share materials and findings from their recent Alameda County Business Leaders Summit on Reentry, which brought together employers, business leaders, and human resources professionals to discuss challenges and opportunities related to hiring people with past criminal records as a means of strengthening both businesses’ bottom lines and the local economy – and where many participating employers came to express an increased willingness to consider hiring candidates with criminal records.
Panelists:
- Meredith Desautels, Staff Attorney, Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights of the San Francisco Bay Area
- Ray P. McClain, Director, Employment Discrimination Project, Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law
