Ureed.com is now offering businesses a unique way to effectively engage underserved and underrepresented talents in their workforce. Elevate your business — and its ESG score — by hiring with diversity and inclusion in mind today.
The two organizations will train and support 250 talented youths (aged 18-35) pooled from marginalized groups in Jordan, including Syrian refugees and women, as well as graduates from Ruwwad’s scholarship program. The training seeks to open up its beneficiaries to the ever-expanding world of online working, and in turn alleviate the pangs of the pandemic that has been raging worldwide.
With inclusivity in mind, 50% of the training opportunities will be awarded to women (15% Syrian refugees), a group that has been reported to bear the brunt of the difficulties of Covid-19. The training will equip them with the vital skills needed to make headway in the competitive world of online freelancing.
Ruwwad Al-Tanmeya is a non-profit youth and community development organization that works with marginalized communities through education, youth volunteerism, and grassroots organizing. Ruwwad’s approach encompasses an array of programs and projects that strengthens initiatives and facilitates redress to problems prioritized by community members. Three main programs anchor Ruwwad: Child Development, Youth Organizing, and Community Support.
Ruwwad, through its projects track, seeks to build partnerships that contribute to enhancing the socio-economic wellbeing and livelihood of the communities it serves through pursuing opportunities that would complement and deepen its work under the program’s track in areas of grassroots entrepreneurship, employability, and community protection.
A diverse workforce can drive better outcomes that can enhance business growth and brand reputation
A research from Tent found that turnover rates among refugee employees were “7-15 percentage points lower than for the overall workforce.”
Research shows that countries that give refugees access to work have a strong presence of innovative entrepreneurship, including the use and adaptation of technology.
Talents enrolled in this program were provided training on essential skills by experts from Ureed.com.
An environmental, social and governance (ESG) framework has become key for the growth of businesses across all fields, especially those looking for funding and investments (yes, startups, we’re talking to you!). Investors across the world are now required to prioritize funding to businesses adhering to ESG standards. But what does ESG really mean? Let’s break it down:
The impact your company has on the environment. Think carbon footprint, chemicals involved in manufacturing processes and sustainability efforts that make up your supply chain.
How does your company have a social impact on communities, both within the company and outside of it? Social factors include everything from gender equality, racial diversity, and inclusion programs and hiring practices.
How does your company’s board and management drive positive change? This factor tackles management’s attitude, leadership and overall treatment of employees and shareholders. It looks at things like equal pay, equal opportunities and potential corruption
*This initiative helps you implement both the ‘S’ and ‘G’ factors in ESG.
