Columbus CEO
JPMorgan Chase has announced expanded second chance hiring efforts in Columbus as an effort to break down barriers for those with criminal backgrounds and provide an inclusive hiring pipeline.
The global financial services firm launched a community-based hiring model that will help ex-offenders secure employment. These efforts aren’t new, however, with 10 percent of 2,100 JPMorgan Chase hires in 2020 having previous criminal charges.
The major push toward reentry efforts began in Chicago, says Monique Baptiste, vice president of workforce strategy, corporate responsibility at the bank. The firm began looking at its hiring processes and found minor changes could make a big impact in providing equal opportunity.
