Employment & Employer Services (E&ES)
TAILORED DISCOVERY MEETINGS TO ALIGN WORK CULTURE AND EXPECTATIONS
E&ES utilizes a personalized approach to evaluating employer suitability, conducting detailed “discovery meetings” with each employer to gain insight into their values, culture, and work expectations. This approach allows E&ES to place job seekers in supportive environments that respect individual needs and align with workforce development goals.
Comprehensive Discovery Meetings with Employers: During the evaluation phase, E&ES schedules in-depth discovery meetings with each potential employer. These meetings allow E&ES to gather detailed information on the company’s mission, values, and culture, which helps determine if they are a good fit for job seekers. Employers discuss the core skills, attributes, and mindsets they seek in employees, helping E&ES align its candidate preparation with the employer’s specific needs.
Emphasis on Flexible Work Arrangements: Recognizing the diverse needs of job seekers, E&ES places high importance on employers who are open to flexible work arrangements. In evaluating employer suitability, E&ES reviews whether the company offers part-time, remote, or flexible scheduling options. This flexibility can be essential for job seekers balancing family responsibilities, education, or other commitments, ensuring they can maintain stable employment.
Alignment with Inclusive Practices and Diversity Initiatives: E&ES values employers who demonstrate a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) within their workforce. During the discovery process, they assess whether the company has DEI programs, employee resource groups, and other initiatives that support an inclusive environment. Employers who prioritize these values are better positioned to support job seekers from varied backgrounds, fostering a respectful and equitable workplace.
Continuous Monitoring and Feedback: E&ES follows up with both employers and job seekers post-placement to gather feedback on job satisfaction, work environment, and role alignment. This continuous feedback loop helps E&ES identify any necessary adjustments and ensure that the employer remains a suitable fit for the workforce program’s goals. If necessary, E&ES collaborates with employers to improve aspects of their work culture, reinforcing a positive partnership.
