A mission-driven workforce
Starts With You
We serve companies that are champions for change.
Today’s economy and workforce are in flux.
Due to Coronavirus and other economic circumstances, hundreds of thousands of companies, organizations and small businesses have experienced a substantial reduction in force—having to layoff staff, reduce employee hours, cut positions and hold off on hiring. Studies show women and minorities are disproportionately affected, while many decision makers at companies remain unaware of the diversity implications…
Other companies face the opposite problem: Open jobs, but few qualified candidates. They call it the ‘talent gap.’
Some cite high turnover and can’t figure out why retaining staff is so hard.
Employers are the key to recovery. Workplace equity and underemployment are complex problems that do not have a turnkey ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution. At UPLIFT Leadership, we help businesses implement creative strategies to re-employ and re-build an inclusive workplace, while making a positive impact in the community.
we encourage companies to demonstrate leadership and commit to equitable workplace practices.
