LWHRA Dec 10th Coffee Chat: Second chance hiring and why it works, 12/10

Hiring people with criminal records isn’t a feel-good charity move: it’s a smart business and public safety decision. In this session, I’ll break down the real benefits of second-chance hiring, including improved retention, access to overlooked talent, and significant savings to taxpayers by reducing recidivism. It’s not just a moral win. It’s a financial and community win, too.

Location: Bellevue Hilton, 300 112th Ave SE, Bellevue, WA 98004
Coffee at 7:30am, conversation from 8-9am.

Speaker: Ty Reed

Hi, I’m Ty Reed. I’m a workforce speaker, recovery coach, and reentry program leader who is passionate about helping companies build work cultures that not only look good on paper but also support the people inside them. I went from being homeless and addicted to becoming a nonprofit founder, recovery and career coach, author, and public speaker. These days, I help businesses understand how to support employees in recovery, hire individuals with records, and become places where second chances are more than just slogans.
