The Work

This work is focused on organizational level policy action. Employers who join this effort will expand their labor pool and support community members to have more equitable access to jobs by:

  • Improving their hiring, retention & employee advancement practices to be more equitable and give them access to a larger pool of potential employees
  • Connecting employees with community support services that help them stay employed
  • Connecting employees with navigators to support them to gain the skills needed to advance in this region

Progress of Our Work So Far

(last updated 3.30.22)

Providing Coaching, Training, Technical Assistance, and Peer-to-Peer Learning for Participating Employers

In 2022 at least 20 large employers in top industry clusters and critical industries will engage in this effort to improve how they hire diverse candidates, and connect current employees to support services to help them stay employed and gain the skills and credentials needed for career advancement.

So far, twelve employers have committed to this effort with others able to join at any time. They will:

  • Determine where they fall on the ‘Benchmarks for Improving Hiring, Retention, & Employee Advancement Practices’
  • Set goals for improving their baseline measurements 

Also, the Partnership has developed: 

  • Hiring and Retention Practices Toolkit, developed in partnership with Colorado Inclusive Economy and other experts in this space; 
  • Survey to help employers set their baseline measurements in this space so continued progress can be measured and celebrated;
  • Organizational policy goals for multiple organizations to remove unnecessary degree requirements in job postings, and instead establish competency-based requirements for jobs (where possible); and
  • Method for gathering perspective from current employees to hear what is working and what barriers to retention exist. 

Throughout this process, workshops, training offerings, and connections to content experts will be developed for employers based on current needs and facilitated by the RMP team.

Ongoing, participating employers will connect employees with community support services needed to help them remain employed and navigators to support them to gain the skills needed to advance.

RMP is also actively monitoring the 2022 State Legislative Session.

  • As partners either decide to take a stance or to monitor bills that impact improving hiring, retention, and advancement practices, they will be listed here.
