Partnering with
Other Organizations
Pizzerias and other companies that hire
non-traditional workers often partner with
organizations that work with vulnerable
populations on job placements.
As Philadelphia program director for
Back on my Feet, Ramon Laboy helps refer
participants to Rosa's Fresh Pizza, among
other companies. He offered these tips to
employers on partnering with an outreach
organization.

describe you, it doesn't need to define
you."
Although some might assume that
managing employees from challenging backgrounds requires lots of rules,
MOD takes the opposite approach.
"We start with the presumption that
we trust them," Svenson says. "I think
that brings the best out in people. This
is a place that cares about me, trusts me,
expects me to do the right thing."

Not everyone embraces that
culture, so some people don't work
out. But as Svenson says, "those that
do embrace it really feel inspired and
empowered." n
SUSAN JOHNSTON TAYLOR covers business
and personal finance topics for numerous
print and online publications.

* Ask how the organization
screens. One benefit of working with a
local organization like Back on my Feet is
that the organization will screen potential
workers and only refer those that show
potential. Participants in Back on my Feet
attend runs for a month before they can
access other benefits like job referrals.
Before referring someone, Laboy looks
at things like "how involved are they in
reaching their goals? Are they putting a
lot of effort into fixing some of the mistakes that they've made in the past?"
* Let go of preconceptions. People
who've struggled with homelessness
or drug abuse or spent time in jail come
from all races and walks of life, so don't
assume that a potential hire is uneducated or unskilled. "The media portrays
homelessness looking a certain way, but
I've been taken aback at all the different
situations that play into homelessness,"
Laboy says. "We have members who
have PhDs." However, he adds that those
who've served a long prison sentence
may need extra help getting up to speed
on technology since they may not have
had much exposure to new tools.
* Research tax incentives. There
may be financial benefits to hiring nontraditional workers. "There are tax incentives in some states to hiring folks who
come from a disadvantaged background or
have some offenses in their background,"
Laboy says.
