"BorgWarner is proud to become part of the Second Chance
Business Coalition and join the ranks of likeminded employers
leading the effort to improve inclusion and diversity in the
workforce," said Felecia Pryor,
Chief Human Resources Officer, BorgWarner Inc. "Taking the step to
join the coalition further enables BorgWarner to strengthen the
communities in which we operate, and give a previously underserved
population the chance to reinvent themselves and create greater
economic opportunities for themselves. This initiative goes beyond
strengthening the economy, it gives people with prior justice
system involvement the opportunity to reenter the workforce and
build a strong foundation for their future."
A quarter of the entire U.S. population – more than 78 million
Americans – have a criminal record. In a hypercompetitive economy
where companies struggle to identify and retain strong talent at
all levels of their organization, many employers are turning to
alternative methods to give these job seekers a fair chance at
meaningful employment. The coalition helps advance those with
criminal records by:
- Developing best practices and enabling companies to share
approaches and experiences, learn from subject-matter experts and
deploy tools to improve second chance recruitment, retention,
manager training, performance and satisfaction.
- Launching pilot initiatives to test new approaches to second
chance hiring and advancement practices. This effort will include
partnerships with community service organizations and providers and
will use metrics to guide decision-making.
"Joining the SCBC aligns with our culture and robust employee
empowerment initiatives in place at BorgWarner, including our
Skills Agility, Women Rising, talent development, mentoring, and
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs, to name a few," added
Pryor.
The membership of SCBC currently includes more than 40 leading
companies from diverse industries, including General Motors,
Eaton, Microsoft, Target,
McDonald's, United, AT&T, Deloitte, Bank of America, and more,
demonstrating their commitment to fair opportunities to participate
in the workforce.
BorgWarner officially became a member of the Second Chance
Business Coalition in December
2021.
