JBM Packaging

💚💚💚 To honor in May, JBM team members were “Seen in Green” at a recent company update meeting! 💚💚💚

Dozens of team members sported green to show their support for mental health awareness, and two lucky winners at each shift got to spin our prize wheel! Thanks to everyone who participated!

This is a special one for JBM Packaging, because our team is celebrating 10 years of Fair Chance hiring practices!

In 2016, faced with an upcoming wave of too many retirements and too few new hires, JBM CEO Marcus Sheanshang turned to an untapped source of manufacturing talent: individuals with criminal records. What began as a pure business decision to develop an employment pipeline evolved into a robust program that has shaped the organization’s purpose and team culture.

Today, nearly 50% of JBM team members are Fair Chance hires, and our program supports these individuals with day-to-day challenges in work and in life, all with the help of more than 30 partner organizations. Click through the image gallery to see more "by the numbers" impact from this program.

We’ll be celebrating our Fair Chance team members all month with interviews, shout-outs, and reports from our Better Lives and Better Leaders graduation ceremony. You can learn more about Fair Chance on our website: https://okt.to/lm0qyi

And, as always, if you’re interested in discussing how a Fair Chance program could help your business, get in touch!
