This is achieved through hiring people from all backgrounds and experience levels, including formerly incarcerated individuals, who are driven to work hard and want to grow personally and professionally,” said Mike Doner, President and CEO of Flagger Force. “When businesses embrace everyone’s differences and provide an equal opportunity to employment for all it helps to expand talent pools, reduce recidivism, support economic growth, and strengthen communities.”
