- Employers interested in joining the Fair Chance Hiring Cohort must demonstrate a genuine commitment to fair chance hiring. Companies that only want to observe or “explore” the concept without implementing changes are not encouraged to join.
- Leadership buy-in is a key requirement. Companies must have decision-makers with the authority to drive policy changes participating in the cohort to ensure sustainability beyond individual employees.
- Cohort participants are expected to actively engage in discussions and attend sessions consistently. Sporadic participation is discouraged as the program is designed for organizations committed to making concrete changes.
