Employing ex-offenders to capture talent
Summary of key findings
The CIPD 2007 Employing Ex-offenders to Capture Talent survey report provides invaluable information on UK employers?policies, views and experiences in connection with employing ex-offenders. Some of the comments made by CIPD members who took part in focus groups are included, together with example case studies.
Employers?practices and experiences of recruiting ex-offenders
?Around half (53%) of organisations report experience of employing ex-offenders, with the voluntary sector (75%) having the greatest involvement, followed by the public sector (71%), with the private sector lagging behind at 34%.
?Most of those employers (51%) who had knowingly recruited ex-offenders had done so over the last two years.
?As many as one in ten organisations with experience of employing ex-offenders say they tend to actively seek ex-offenders to employ. This shows significant room for improvement in enhancing the rehabilitation of people with criminal convictions through employment as a way to reduce reoffending. The main reasons employers are proactive in recruiting ex-offenders include: to boost their recruitment pool; and to support organisational policy.
?Only one in seven organisations ask job applicants if they have a criminal record.
?One-fifth of organisations say that their experience of employing ex-offenders was 慴etter than expected? with this being more commonly reported in the private sector. Of those organisations that had a 慴etter than expected?experience, they said that ex-offenders were more motivated to succeed than they expected and praised their attitudes and performance.
?Among the 134 organisations that record positive experiences with ex-offenders, the reasons given are that they settle into work well with colleagues (86%) and perform well (82%).
?Only 23 employers in the total sample of 474 respondents report negative experiences when employing an ex-offender and these range from an ex-offender being subject to disciplinary action to issues about their employment being raised by colleagues and customers.
Although many respondents found it difficult to answer the question, 40% of those who did answer say that the retention rate among ex-offenders is as good as those of employees without criminal convictions. The majority of employers report no difference in their experiences of employing
ex-offenders and people without criminal convictions.
Employers?agendas in recruiting ex-offenders
?The survey evidence shows that employers are more worried about ex-offenders having the soft skills of honesty (92%), reliability (89%) and personal behaviour (84%) than technical skills. But their experience of employing ex-offenders refutes such concerns, as respondents report satisfaction with the soft skills of ex-offenders they抳e employed and don抰 see them as less viable employees than their colleagues and co-workers.
