The murder of George Floyd was a catalyst for an onslaught of positive change in so many areas of our society, and no more so than in Chicago where business leaders came together to address the economic and racial inequities across all the neighborhoods in the Chicago region. Out of that confab came the Corporate Coalition of Chicago with more than 40 members of the Chicago business community, 23 anchor partners and 5 initiatives to reduce long-standing and continuing inequities and create a thriving economy throughout Chicago. One of these initiatives is centered in Fair Chance Hiring and addressing the talent shortage and the population that faces severe limitations to gaining employment because of a criminal record. This model is being adopted across the U.S., but can it grow fast enough to save our businesses who can’t find employees.
