Determining Success: Measurement and Assessment

Using quantitative and qualitative methods, Second Chance employers can reflect at regular intervals on the successes and learnings from their initiatives. This may include measuring the impact on candidate pools, company culture, and the longer-term outcomes and experiences of candidates hired through Second Chance initiatives. Many of the traditional HR metrics: time to hire, turnover, retention, orientation time to full productivity, etc. may be applicable to assess Second Chance hiring activity.

Employers focused on continuous learning can implement tools to survey staff and new hires and review performance, retention and advancement data to assess the trajectory of candidates with past convictions.

Employers can also regularly review the practices of other Second Chance companies to benchmark practices and continue to grow.
